Synopsis
This is a comic group made up of Spanish and Columbian nationals. They perform in the public squares of Spain, France and Portugal, countries with bullfighting traditions. This short film, which begins with the back stage preparations for the show, gives us a glimpse into the dwarves’ world. The film depicts their expectations about life and the future, their aspirations as well as their desire to be recognized and respected like all other citizens, regardless of their physical and other differences. The show is a parody of bullfighting where the main aim is to laugh. Not only do the dwarves and the musicians of the band stand out but also the clowns, who are real acrobats.
