The transformist artist Juan Moreno, to put it another way, a gypsy from Sacromonte, is struggling at an extraordinary vital crossroads. He had always hated Federico García Lorca for his stereotypical view of gypsies, but he has had a strange dream that revolves around his poem Son de Negros en Cuba. From this experience he begins to feel inexplicably identified with the poet's work… So much so that he ends up acquiring a new and explosive personality: that of Juana la Lorca. With this nom de guerre, he will embark on a path of no return full of incidents, but also of shocking revelations that will shed light on the life and death of Federico García Lorca. With this singular and irreverent work, Valeriano López humorously vindicates the homosexual dimension of the most rebellious Federico García Lorca, at the same time he makes a ruthless satire of Lorca's clichés and of the "industry" built on the poet's legacy.
