They are right, you cannot understand this movie unless you are familiar with, even though a little, Spanish culture, their family system and their connections to Flamenco music.
Me, living in Spain for 5 years now and knowing a lot of Gypsies (Gitanos), this movie reflects them at their finest and they way Gitanos have preserved their culture.
This is a beautiful movie and if you want more insight into Spanish culture, you must watch this one and this movie has features some of the best Flamenco music and groups, which I never knew before by they way.
