In a small Spanish town, a young boy named Manolo Olivar grapples with the heavy expectations placed upon him as the son of a legendary bullfighter. As he navigates the pressures of following in his father's footsteps, Manolo is torn between the town's desire for him to become a matador and his own dreams and fears.
