Rickie (Steven Weber), an American, was born in Spain, but has spent most of his life in the U.S., and he plays a trumpet. For most of his life, he has been haunted by a snippet of film he saw which shows a black woman doing a seductive dance in a Barcelona bar. He has returned to Barcelona for the funeral of his mother, and decides to look up the woman who performed in that long-remembered film (Belinda Becker). He discovers that she is a strangely independent prostitute, and is the focus for the adulation of a group of homeless children who call themselves "the Angels."
