An arresting portrait of Mexican music icon Chavela Vargas, the rabble-rousing, cigar-smoking lesbian iconoclast famous for bringing audiences to tears, who staged an amazing comeback at age 72 thanks in part to the efforts of filmmaker Pedro Almodovar.
Inspired by exclusive interview and performance footage of Chavela Vargas shot in 1991 and guided by her unique voice, AMOR PURO Y DURO weaves an arresting portrait of a woman who dared to dress, speak, sing, and dream her unique life into being.
