Synopsis
Some call it culture others tradition, where the brotherhood of those facing the bull is put to test. In doing so, they claim to deliver a spectacle rich in colors, music and costumes, where the art of being a knight mastering a noble and pure blooded horse is shown in perfection. It is a place where men win battles against the strongest beasts, that symbolically represent the devil's personification. It is a moment where manhood overcomes itself.
While these are strong beliefs, wrapped in pretty words, reality appears to be somewhat different.
