The final film, "Love, the Magician," is set in a Gypsy village, where the fathers of Candela and José promise their children to each other. Years later, the unfaithful José marries Candela, but while defending his lover Lucía in a brawl, he is stabbed to death. Carmelo, who secretly loves Candela since he was a boy, is arrested while helping José and unfairly sent to prison. Four years later, he is released and declares his love for Candela. However, the woman is cursed by a bewitched love and every night she goes to the place where José died to dance with his ghost.

This Carlos Saura-directed "Flamenco Trilogy" (Blood Wedding / Carmen / Love, the Magician) offers a unique and captivating exploration of Spanish culture, love, and the power of flamenco dance.
