A bull and a bullfighter confront each other face to face in a bullring. Neither of them are anonymous beings; both of them are well-known characters. The bull, a huge animal that has been specially bred and thoroughly looked after during 4 years, enters the bullring without knowing the fate that awaits him. His weapons are his breed, fierceness and his horns. The bullfighter is a well-known and daring professional who fears death and makes others fear it too through his art. His weapons are his braveness, his intelligence and his sword. The public expects from the bull and the bullfighter their best performance. Nobody knows the fate that awaits the two of them. But we do know that we are before the phenomenon that drives humanity: the Life-Death link. Ritual, aesthetics, art, festivity and mythology. Life versus death. Power versus death. Which is to prevail? The narration comprises a dual biography of two living beings whose respective stories generate enormous sympathy until one day they meet face to face in a bullring for the first time ever. The bull is pure emotion and instinct and the man is fragile and intelligent. The two protagonists are shown in the screen with all the emotion, magic, strength and visual impact they can convey, ignoring any comments or intellectual explanations but paying special attention to striking sound effects and including an exclusive sound-track involving the collaboration of prestigious musician _Antonio Meliveo_ and taking in mind Luis Francisco Espla's ideas about jazz, instead of pasodoble, to accompany the corrida and everything related to bullfighting.
