An intimate, cinematic portrait of an active bullfighting star, Andrés Roca Rey, which allows us to reflect on the intimate experience of the bullfighter who assumes the risk of facing the bull as a personal duty out of respect for tradition and as an aesthetic challenge. This challenge creates a form of ephemeral beauty through the material and violent confrontation between human and wild animal. Depiction does not mean endorsement, and by presenting the reality of the bullfighter, questions about the meaning of bullfights are explored in dramatic detail.
Content Warning: This film includes scenes of violence against animals.
