Looking for the roots of the so called "New Flamenco", "SEVILLE SOUTHSIDE" is a documentary that travels to all Tres Mil viviendas, the most problematic neighborhood of Seville, where the Triana's ancients gypsies are mixed with the new generations of musicians who found the most modern trends of the music with the deep roots of the traditional Flamenco.
Under the pretext of the honoring to Pepe "The Quemao", in a multitudinous concert for the first time in The Tres Mil Viviendas, they show prominent figures of all the styles and ages that along the documentary speaks about the daily problems of hisneighborhood, sings, they dance, show his peculiar customs and smooth his roughnesses.
With the motto "Leave You of paranoias and come to The Tres Mil" it is invited the whole Seville to spend magic night of good music with the people of the SEVILLE SOUTHSIDE.
The interracial and multicultural mixture that they suppose the current trends of the Flamenco and the whole artists' pleiad will be falling across artists as Rafael Amador, Juana la del Revuelo, Ramon Quilate, from more acquaintances, up to the anonymous figures that continue preserving the most ancient traditions of the artistic gipsy Flamenco expression.

Fiona is the manager of a fast-food restaurant. She lives comfortably with her family in the suburbs. In other words, Fiona is happy... until one day she accidentally gets locked into a walk-in fridge. She escapes the next morning, half frozen and barely alive, only to realize that her husband and two children didn't even notice she was missing. But when Fiona develops an obsession for everything cold and icy: snow, polar bears, fridges, icebergs--she drops everything, climbs into a frozen goods delivery truck and leaves home. For a real iceberg.
