The film explores the Romani origins of flamenco in 17th century Spain and juxtaposes it with the flamenco culture in contemporary Spain. The documentary also focuses on a group of flamenco dancers, singers and guitarists based in Los Angeles who are dedicated to preserving the art in its original form. "Kumpanía" is a Romani word meaning "people who travel the same territory"
