This story tells of vertigo that can be felt from the top, the moment when the winner asks whether the effort spent will be worth it. Success has a price, in any profession. But our winner is a matador, the film also gives us a chance to show the back of a world of which little is known, beyond the flashes and the colorful costumes.
