Filmed over the course of five years, this award-winning film follows Borja, a young boy growing up in Castellón, a small town in Spain, where the tradition of bullfighting weighs heavily on his shoulders. His grandad, Matias, pins his own unfulfilled dreams of becoming a professional bullfighter onto his grandchild with the hopes that it will get the family out of poverty. Like most underprivileged kids feeling trapped in a life with few choices and opportunities, Borja doesn't see a future beyond orange fields, fishing and bullfighting.
