A formally rigorous and intimate documentary that offers a hypnotic look at the art and tragedy of bullfighting, following the young Peruvian matador Andrés Roca Rey as he engages in a solitary, life-and-death dance with the bull in the arena. With calculated precision, director Albert Serra crafts an unflinching meditation that cuts through ritual and ornament to raise questions about existence, tradition, and the nature of performance. Content warning: Contains graphic violence against animals and death of animals in a real-life bullfighting context
