This bizarre jewel is set in the near future, which successfully squeezes some clichés about the world of bullfighting. Featuring a superb Nacho Sánchez (Mantícora) in a tailor-made role and some of the best production design in a short film this year. It has been three years since the abolition of bullfighting in Spain and Rafael Jesús can no longer be the bullfighting figure he was destined to be. He wanders the streets trying to fit into a new world that holds no space for him. But every step he takes, moves him further away from the arena, and closer to the blood.
