In conflict with his father over a decision to pursue a bullfighting career, sixteen year-old Miguel begins his study at La Escuela de Tauromaquia, Madrid's famed school for matadors. Surrounded by his fellow students, Miguel will quickly learn that in the arena, one must be ready to face death "tu solo"... on your own. In this fascinating docu-drama you will meet an amazing group of dedicated youngsters, ranging in age from eight to eighteen, as they live and breathe the controversial sport of bullfighting as well as the world of machismo. At times heart-stopping, this unique coming-of-age film does not star professional actors, but the students themselves. Experience all the drama, joy and heartaches of the sport unknown to America. You will be on the edge of your seat when watching Miguel and his friends face the bulls.
