Well, you grown-ups can leave now,

with the teachers,

and the little ones can stay for a moment...

so I can talk to you.

Well, come on, pay attention.

In these last classes

I have been talking to you

about the conditions, the characteristics,

of this animal

that everyone considers so wild

but which is not so wild.

Because it is a noble animal.

Everyone says that he

is your enemy

and I want you to start to consider that he is your enemy.

this animal as your best collaborator.

You must treat it, then,

with all respect

because with it goes death.

This animal was born to die,

see to it that it dies nobly.

Your glory depends on it.

On that animal that must be

your best friend,

the bull.

You are going to start the class with the cape, eh?

So warm up your hands a little bit

And you, I've been watching you for a few days now...

that you take the cape as if it were a

kitchen towel.

You have to hold the cape well.

Strong, so that even if the bull steps on it, he never takes it out of your hands.

And fight with the palms of your hands,

hold the cape like this.

There!

Bote...

When did you fight for the first time?

After a year, more or less.

Well... something has to be done.

I can't go without bullfighting for a year.

Careful, careful, careful.

Is he?

Wait, he's still inside.

What do we do now?

We wait.

Come on, we're leaving, we're late.

Well, now I'm leaving for a few days,

don't abandon this, as always,

and take good care of it.

Man, Don Pedro,

I'm staying here.

That's why I'm saying it.

He's leaving.

He's leaving.

Goodbye, Miguelito.

Goodbye, Mrs. Irene.

Fuck, man, we almost had a fight with your father.

We missed a little bit like that.

My father has no snout.

Man, I was talking about this one.

It seems to me that here

who, more or less, has a lot of snouts to give and take.

Well, come on, what's up?

Man, what's up...?

You haven't shown up at school for six or seven days now, and...

Three.

Well, yes, three, but we thought something had happened to you.

Man, thank you so much for coming,

but you could have saved yourselves the trouble.

If you had called me on the phone...

Especially considering

how bad you are financially.

You could have saved yourselves the round-trip subway fare.

And, with a small phone bill...

Solved.

Juan Carlos, don't be a bastard,

we already have enough with this one.

I'll show you my mug!

Well, come on, what do you need, my mother is about to come down.

These? A kilo and a half of shame each.

A liter of floor cleaner.

Well, bring it, now that Don Pedro is coming, he's going to tell you that...

Do you think this is going to do any good, Neyra?

-Yes, I'm sure.
-Yes, I'm sure.

I'm sure we're going to make a duck tomorrow.

Ala, come on, take a photo.

Here you go. Let's see, next.

Me, it's my turn.

I used to wear the guy, and more with a cap.

Here, hold it for me.

Hey, you, don't break it.

Look, Carretero, what pictures have been published.

I don't believe that.

Well, I think that if he gets in,

if he puts his horn in his eye a little more..,

he'll fall like a barn.

Look, this is the moment when he sticks his horn in his eye.

How big is that steer, eh?

We'll have to go and see him,

to the clinic,

because I've heard that they're going to bring him in.

to the clinic of the Virgen de Loreto, here in Madrid.

You, come here.

What were you looking at there?

We were looking at the photographs that Lucio has published, of the injury.

Stop looking at those morbid things now,...

So that things like this don't happen,

you have to know the bull very well.

And I am going to explain something very important to you

so that you can become aware of things.

Let's see, you.

How much do you estimate a bull weighs?

Well, I don't know...

Normally 480 to 490 kilos, more or less.

Well, let's put it in round numbers,

500 kilos.

Let's think of a bull that comes out

of the pen, and that in five meters

reaches a speed of thirty kilometers per hour.

Let's see you, Perea.

How much do you calculate that it is coming at you

in weight of the bull? How many kilos

do you think you'll get when a bull comes like this?

Let's see. Do the math.

The truth is that they can't say it any clearer.

But don't tell me they're not funny,

that it's very funny...

Look at Cesitar, the montera, he's the only one who looks good.

And Perea's frightened face, what?

Do you think Don Enrique recognized us?

Well, of course.

There are our faces.

We could have put on a mask.

You two.

Since you don't seem to be interested in anything

in what's going on here,

let's go make a duck.

Don Morenaro,

did you want to know the weight of the bull?

It is equal to the mass times the acceleration,

and I think it's 1150 kilos.

Well, in round numbers, a ton.

Well, you can imagine,

a ton,

coming at you, on an animal,

that can be dazzled,

that can be half-blind,

that can even be enraged,

do you realize that it can leave you flattened

like a postage stamp?

Hey, you,

When you get there on the fourth,

come over here, we're going to talk over there now.

So, be careful with the bulls.

Man, we can see that you are very prepared.

We think this is very good.

Well, we, the teachers, have decided,

that next Sunday you'll have cows.

Good!

Just a moment. There are four days left to prepare,

prepare well.

Yes, sir!

One moment, one moment.

You little ones, come here.

Let's see: next Sunday, of these,

several, with the calves, eh?

Let's see, let's see if you're capable, eh?

We are going to be here watching.

And me, am I going to fight?

You, shorty? What are you going to fight for?

You go to school.

We'll see. We'll see.

Well, we'll see, let's see.

A little greeting...

I'm not going up, H�ctor.

Is that a joke?

Not at all.

Come on, man, let's go.

No, I don't know what.

But, what do you get? Are you shy?

No... I just don't like to see the tragedy of my friends.

Well, you give him my regards,

and I'll wait for you here.

-Well, let's go.
-Come on, let's go.

Cool, man!

What's up, man?

Damn, bullfighter!

How are you doing, Lucio?

Well, here...

The whole team, huh?

Very well, man.

And the compadre?

Well, nothing... he sends me a hug for you, and nothing...

Working, man, right?

He'll see you, he says.

And what's that you have there, what is it?

What you've been operated on, because...

Yes, well, because I had a fracture in my cheekbone,

they drew with a pen all the fractures I had,

so that they don't touch me during the surgery, because it can come off.

But they operated on the inside, didn't they?

Yes, everything inside. They lifted my face,

and everything inside, so that no scars remain.

Listen, Lucio, at school, the teachers,

Andr�s, and Gregorio,

and the others,

have told me that the animal,

the animals warn you.

Yeah, they are more noble

than what people say.

Well, did the steer warn you when it caught you?

Yes, well, it warned me before,

before he caught me, he warned me, the steer, yes.

Then, why...?

Why were you still there with the steer?

Well, because bullfighting is like that, bullfighting has that risk, right?

There are many times when you know that it is possible that he might catch you.

and you have no choice but to stay still.

You had to travel with him, to get the...

Well, yes, you will notice one thing that in a certain way,

that drove me, didn't it?

Almost to thirteen, because

two weeks before I had gone to Prince's Gate,

all those series against the grain,

that make the public tremble.

He warned me on the third right hand,

and on the fourth.

And, for trying to give him one more,

it was the last one I was going to give him,

to finish him off with the breast,

which was the fifth, well, he caught me.

This is a misfortune that happened, but it also gives me glory, this.

Don't stand up there, the nurses are going to scold me.

Come on, man.

What's up, what?

Are you sure it doesn't hurt?

Nothing, it doesn't hurt at all, this doesn't hurt at all.

-Are you sure?
-Positive.

Can't you see I'm laughing and everything?

It doesn't hurt at all.

Now the bull looks smaller, doesn't it?

I don't know, bigger, because now it looks like one all concentrated.

-Now you're more scared, aren't you?
-Now it's even scarier.

Why don't you fight your father, you bastard?

Fight your father!

Maestro, my pleasure.

Hello, where were you?

Sorry I couldn't come earlier.

So, what's he from? Your father, right?

You know.

Well...

Bull.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

How are you coming on Sunday?

I don't know, me, my mother...

I'm fitting into my suit...

This way you save time, because...

I don't know if she'll have it finished by Sunday.

I don't need any more.

What's the matter?

Quiet, it's like a casino in here!

Here, all you have to do is listen to the one who is playing the bull,

snorting,

and the one who is fighting, the bullfighter,

cheering him on,

so we already agree, don't we?

Come on, and silence, and let's get to work.

Aha, bull!

Do you know what you have to do?

You get up early, and you put a note to your parents,

telling them you're going to mass, and that's it.

But my parents know I don't go to mass.

But, in addition, what I want, is for them to know that I am going to fight a cow.

Don't worry, they will give you the authorization.

What if something happens? That's the worst thing.

What's going to happen to you, man?

If they're cool, they're like that when they're little.

Yeah, those are the ones they killed before the welcome.

Come on, Perea, man, you're already getting the "senda manda" ("help!" in Basque).

But, I have seen the calves, and it seems to me that they are very small.

How brave you are, the little ones need small calves.

You have to let them grow up a little.

In four weeks, they could be a little bigger.

The first thing they fight are small calves,

and then when they get a little confident, in a couple of weeks,

we put them in with some of the ones that play a little bit more.

What you have to be careful with is Cesitar, eh?

Because Cesitar is capable of throwing himself.

You are going to throw him, C�sar, take it away.

Put the botijo on and stay still.

And my cap?

Stay still, this is mine.

Fuck, where's my cap?

Is it this one?

Yes, where was it?

And my girdle, hey!

Easy.

My girdle, where is it?

Kiddo.

Here's your girdle.

What are you going to tie it with, a zipper?

You gonna leave it there all day long?

I'm more nervous than you are.

Well, this is my debut and farewell.

Of course, they look great.

But, well, where do they get the suits?

I imagine they'll lend them to each other.

But, my goodness.

I didn't expect that.

Perea, you've seen your parents, haven't you?

I don't even want to see them.

Come on, man, they're very quiet.

Get inside.

The youngest!

Freeze!

Let's move, C�sar!

Get down!

Come on, Cesar!

Chest up!

Keep going!

Keep going with the little muleta!

Turn around when he hits the right, C�sar.

Turn around when he hits the right.

Closer.

Closer.

Come on, come on, there you go.

There you go, start.

Here we go!

That's the way I think it's going to come out, so come on!

By the left piton, it's coming out.

Okay, get out of the way.

He's got to make the jump.

You know how to flag in the cart, and you don't know how to do it here, do you?

There, good!

Why are you letting go of the muleta?

Come on, take it there.

Take it, take it.

If he starts, you know why.

Drop the muleta there, the tool...

Take it out of there, take it out.

Touch, touch and slowly.

Put that hand down.

Good!

Another one.

Run, Jos�, go ahead.

Run ahead.

I'm so nervous!

It sways like a sail.

Give him room.

Good!

The shovel in the back. Give him room!

Hold it, hold it.

It's all right, it's all right.

Look, Neyra.

Neyra, instead of putting it like that,

stand here, close.

You stand there, close.

And there. And don't go like this.

Close. You put your hand close, here,

and close, and there.

Or the other side, it's the same.

But very close.

Not far away.

Give him room.

Stay still, he's lying down, that's all.

How is he going to get in, hey,

that has surprised you, hey.

Fuck his fucking mother, what a rotten calf!

A little bit of water, a little bit of water.

Nothing will have happened, lady,

stay still.

I shit on the fucking mother who bore her.

Run, run, run.

Where is he going, you, where is he going!

Where is this boy going?

Wait.

Put your arms out, huh?

Put your arms out.

Good, C�sar, good, finish him off.

Who's in charge of this?

Depending on what for.

Well, to sign me up, here, to the school.

Sign you up?

You have to talk to Repiso or Monero.

But Repiso has just left,

and Monero won't come until tomorrow.

If you want, you can come tomorrow, around five o'clock,

you have to spy on one of the two.

What do you mean?

Where are you from?

I'm from Cadiz.

And how come you didn't go to school in Cordoba?

Well, because I come from Salamanca.

From Salamanca?

And do you plan to stay long?

Well, that's my intention.

Do you have a place to stay?

No.

Do you have something to do?

No, I don't.

Well, in that case, stay here,

sit with us, and have a drink.

But, hey, what you can't do is stay over.

Well, I don't care, I'm used to sleeping outdoors.

Well, that, to me, seems like a bitch.

Shut up, man, I like the word more than you do.

Well, but whatever it looks like to Cesitar,
it can't be that you sleep over.

Because here at school they are very strict

and you know, Miguel, that without the authorization of Don Enrique,

there's nothing to do.

Well, I don't think it's not that bad either.

Of course, you, since you have it all figured out...

Let's see, Cesitar, we are going to remind all these people

a few things.

We have to give something to drink...

To the thirsty.

We must feed...

The hungry.

You have to dress...

The naked.

And you have to give inn...

To the pilgrim.

And also, like...

don't let him sleep here,

I'm going to tell the Ciques that you have hidden wine...

You betray us, little runt.

Well, Luis Miguel.

Sevillita.

But, weren't you from Cadiz?

Yes, but they call me Sevillita.

Sit down here.

Sit here,

and have a drink.

No, the water is to save.

One, with 300 kilos, there in the middle,

he does not see.

With two pitons,

but like this,

two flasks, you can't see,

I tell you nothing.

Well, and the mayor started, there,

to offer money.

Let's see, he says, 1000 duros, let's see, who kills him.

And the "capes" that were there, looked at the flasks.

and they said: "well, 1000 duros."

"2000 duros?"

And nothing, and none came out.

And he even offered up to 25,000 pesetas,

the guy.

So he said:

"You are a bunch of "sufras",

all of you men, you don't want to be bullfighters, or anything."

"You're a bunch of faggots, men."

"That we don't want to be bullfighters?"

"Here's a man's bull."

And I went out.

With the cape

I gave him two long ones there too,

you don't see the mess I made, you know?

And then, flags.

and I put two blades on it,

two inside, total,

I'm free

And then, for the muleta,

and I messed him up.

And then I hit him with a banderilla,

and then I tiptoed goodbye.

And then

I'm going to charge...

You only give me cheese, do I have a mouse face, or what?

Do you see my mouse face?

Total, I'm going to charge,

and then, well...

there was the mayor, a councilor,

and this, and I didn't know who those people were.

He said to me:

"You're going to be around here, aren't you?"

"I know your face."

"You've been around here before, haven't you?"

And I, such a fool, said yes.

You have been the one who has fought the sideroso here, right?

I say: "Me?"

"What am I going to fight the sideroso?"

And the guy said nothing, he wanted me to let me know that I had fought the sideroso.

So they didn't pay you.

What's he going to pay me, or anything, that guy!

It's a little number they put on, man.

They have it set up like this.

And they tell me: "Go on, go to Cebaco".

as if they were doing me a favor, you know?

"Go away". So, what was I going to do?

I was there surrounded by everyone, there,

What was I going to do? Was I going to call the civil guard, or what?

Well, I would have stayed

and I would have hit him twice

the mayor's a cuckold.

Shut up, kid!

Fuck.

Here's a good one, huh?

I've already seen them catching heifers here.

By the way, they are very small.

Hey, there isn't a little friend, huh?

What, he did it to you, one of those?

Well, yes, look,

and the steer that gouged out Lucio's eye was quite small.

Well, let's drop that topic.

Well, see you tomorrow.

We'll be leaving.

How's it going?

Calmer?

Yes, a little calmer,

with a full belly, everything looks different.

Okay.

What do you have?

I don't have anything.

Come on, man, don't hide anything from us.

What was it, a bull, or the mayor?

Or both?

The first one.

A bull.

Let's see.

What a fucking punishment!

He is made a Christ!

Have you had him long?

Give it a week.

Fuck, man, if he really puts the piton in you, he'll blind you.

Come on, let's go to the infirmary to cure you, come on, let's go.

No, let me go, I'll go,

let's see if Enrique and someone else comes to the infirmary,

and you'll see what will happen.

Come on, lie down there for a while.

Careful.

Was it big?

A guy!

Let's see, Belmonte, something happened to him just like you.

He arrived, and that day he was wearing a new suit,

and he'd just had it made,

and he left for the gang,

and he was beaten up by a bull.

that tore his suit to shreds.

He left the suit, not even for "bocifa".

What's that?

I don't know. I read it in the book.

Those are rags from old clothes.

to clean the floor.

Come on, the first thing is to disinfect.

A gauze with hydrogen peroxide, come on.

Careful, eh?

Give me another gauze.

Pour it all over the wound.

More, take off more.

A little bit down here.

There.

Disinfect it, more, more down here.

Man, and tomorrow

don't put in banderillas, otherwise the wound will open up.

Don't raise your arms.

Well, tomorrow, we'll see each other.

and we cure it in the morning.

It's great, in two or three days,

Sevillita, it's great.

You can join us now.

Put a clean gauze on it.

Sit up, Sevillita.

Sevillita?

What's the matter?

He's fried, man, he's fried.

Poor thing!

Carlos, go to bed now.

Let me have a little more.

It can't be, son, you have to get up early tomorrow,

and go to school.

Here's your welcome book, eh?

Have you done your homework?

Yes, it's all done.

Gustavo, you too, go, son.

Go to sleep.

Can't you leave me for a while?

No way. You have to get up early tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Don't stay up too long reading, eh?

Let's see, how's that.

That's enough.

What you have to do is to take it off,

because it's much better outdoors.

It's just that my mother insists that I keep it covered.

No, no, but it's better to take it off,

you take it off and that's it. See? You have nothing left.

Finish it off, finish it off.

Fuck, man, he's been sleeping for twenty hours,

and he's still in the same position.

Hey, let's see if he's dead,

and we have a corpse in there,

and we're here so calm.

I don't think he's dead.

Not even the "Consopera" can kill him.

And besides, what he had on his back,

it vaccinates him against everything.

Yeah, but we have to wake him up before Molinero or Enrique come,

to cure it.

The best cure is for him to stay in bed.

And you, what studies do you have?

Well...

I can read and write,

and that.

Well, man.

It's just that I had to leave school very early,

because we are six siblings,

and I had to start working.

Because there in Andalusia, you don't know how things are.

And, if you fail in bullfighting,

what do you think about...?

Well... I don't think about failure.

I do have to think about your failure.

What trade do you have to be able to do

to get by in life?

None.

Well, good.

Very well. Come on Michael.

Are you staying?

For the moment, yes.

The luck of the kill is the supreme luck.

You can be fine with the cape,

with the muleta, with the banderillas,

but, as long as you don't kill,

what you have done before is useless.

The muleta under the bull's hoof,

the bull to open the hole of the needles,

and the bullfighter who does not make the cross,

the devil takes him, Miguel, let's go ahead.

Good!

Good, Miguel, very good.

Come on, Cascorrito, you.

Let's go.

How's that back, good?

It's fine.

Good, Cascorrito, good.

Are you the new guy?

Yes, sir.

Give him the muleta, Cascorrito, let's see how he goes with the banderilla.

Maestro, he's just arrived.

I know he's just arrived.

Let's see.

Bull.

Come on, let's go.

All right, what happened?

...get your other hand out of here.

I'm gonna go talk to the guys for a minute.

Boys.

Come here, all of you.

Come on, Bote.

All right. I'm going to give you some good news.

The great maestro Domingo Ortega

wants to meet you.

So, you all want to be bullfighters?

Yes.

Let's see: what is the most important thing for you?

to be a bullfighter?

Bullfighter, huh?

For me, the art.

Art, and what is art?

I don't know, I have heard from the maestros, that it is the fusion of the bull with the bullfighter.

And then, the body emerges,

and people get excited, no doubt about it.

Now, it is not a work of fighting,

the art of bullfighting is not boxing.

Do you understand?

It is quite the opposite.

Gentleness, gentleness, a lot of gentleness.

Also, for me, courage.

Courage is relative.

Man has no fear, he has ignorance,

of the problem he has to solve.

Then he is afraid, of course.

It is not fear, it is ignorance.

The personality.

One's personality is already one's own.

If you have it or not.

I also believe that,

that the head is very important

for a bullfighter.

If you lose your head,

you lose everything you're going to sell here.

It's the head that has to work hard.

And also the feeling.

The feeling is at the top of the head.

Then, of course, there's the heart that works,

and so on... but that's after the fact.

If the head fails, the heart doesn't work.

Well, but I think there is one more important thing,

which is the shame of the human being.

In the art of bullfighting, and in all things.

But even more so in bullfighting.

Shame, keep it as long as you live.

And a good sponsor.

Sevillita.

Excuse me, maestro.

But there are many "sufras" in life.

without courage, without shame,

who are up there triumphing

because they have a good sponsor.

Do you want a drink, or to go to the country?

Go to the country.

Let's go to the country.

Have you ever seen anything more beautiful than the bulls of Libya?

These, perhaps, one day, will give glory to you.

Or take it away.

Who knows.

How beautiful they are, what beautiful faces.

How beautiful.

What's on your mind?

The same as you.

Hey, do you think Belmonte was a bullfighter because of what he says in the book?

Tomorrow I'll tell you.

"And I passed the bull over and over again."

"brushing his skin with the skin of my naked body."

"Not even a woman had ever given me that sensation."

"That's what made me want to be a bullfighter."

Well, there's the herd, come on.

What do we do now?

Well, we set aside one.

Well, if you want to take one,

call that bull over there,

this one is going to stay here,

and you want us to get to the herd?

To separate a bull.

On the other side of the swell, I think there are more.

Look, there is a steer over there.

Come on, kid, who's going first?

Me.

Have you gone crazy? Where are you going?

He's almost naked.

Leave it, leave it

Joselito, you could catch a cold.

The spirit of Belmonte

it has to be around here.

Fuck, I would have killed him.

Quiet, Gonzalito, leave me alone, Gonzalito.

This guy has little strength.

Hold still, man, give me a hand, give me a hand.

They'll come, you'll see.

I'll kill him, man.

Leave him alone, man.

This, what he has done,

is that I want to be a bullfighter.

Hey, were any of you homesick last night?

Well, I do miss it.

I miss those flans that my mother makes,

those eggs beaten with milk,

those beans,

those cool sheets in the summer,

and the smell of apples,

lemon...

Here, Carlos, drink this glass of milk, let's see if you fall asleep.

Fall asleep?

That's what I'd like.

Mom, I can't fall asleep either.

Well, we're ready.

Do you want another glass of milk?

Yes, yes.

Well, drink this one.

So, your parents, what are they like?

My parents, very normal.

During the day they work, at night they sleep,

and try not to bother others.

Joselito.

What are the guys like?

I envy you, Carretero.

You don't know how lucky you are.

I snuck in, didn't I?

Well, Carretero, you don't know, eh?

Are you always the last to know?

He lost his father a few days ago,

and he hasn't lived with his mother for years.

Fuck, they are cheating you,

here, instead of bullfighters, they're making bullfighting clerks.

Office worker, me?

Hurry up, I'm shitting myself, man.

What do you mean by that?

It's all very nice here, in the salon,

like this, a lot of swirling,

but then you have to get used to the black leg, you see.

I'll do the black leg ones, if necessary.

Oh yeah? Tomorrow you'll see.

Tomorrow they are going to come to a capea, which is nearby,

and everything you're paying lip service to

you're going to do that there tomorrow.

A capea?

Yeah, a capea.

You will go?

No, I'm going to stay here to cut off the ears of one of those cars.

What happened? It was me, man.

Hey, can we come with you?

Yeah, man, what do you want? You want me to get kicked out of school?

No one has to know.

Are you guys crazy, or what?

You're scared, aren't you?

Well, there to the young people of the town

those heifers that you have there

they release them as an appetizer.

And when you're done,

They let you loose a turkey like that,

and they eat it too.

I'm going with you, huh?

I warn you, it's a twenty kilometer walk.

Come on. What time do we leave?

-Ten o'clock.
-Where from?

From the National Five.

Well, see you tomorrow, guys.

See you tomorrow.

Are you up for it, Luis Miguel,

or are you hoping that things won't work out for you there?

the postures are good?

I have to go.

See you tomorrow.

I don't understand how you're so hard on him.

These daddy's boys

I like them so much.

And you have to poke them.

But don't make them crazy.

Did something happen?

Where did you come from?

From school.

From school, huh?

Has it been a lot?

Nothing compared to what's going to happen to you.

if you leave my store.

But, well, didn't I tell you

to get the bull out of your head...

or shall I take it out of your head?

But, what do you think the bull gives you?

Where do you think we eat from?

The bull doesn't give you more than four bitches and 1000 problems every day.

Go on, go with your mother and help her clean the clothes.

Anything else?

Quarter of a kilo of chickpeas.

But make sure they're good ones, not the ones from last week.

they came out very hard

They're the same ones I eat, ma'am.

My mother's chickpeas are very soft.

-And a dozen eggs.
-Pepe.

Finish serving the lady.

If my father asks for me, tell him I've gone to bullfight.

What a young man!

And a dozen eggs.

Faggots, get a move on!

Do you think they'll let some little girl go?

Yes, man, so you can go play with her,

They're going to make you a little one.

You guys, don't even move from your boxes.

Okay.

Come on, man, and don't worry, he's vaccinated.

Come on, Sevillita, let's go.

Well, what do you think? If you want to be a bullfighter, you have to go through this.

Enrique, Enrique.

Look, the bullfighter, the bullfighter.

And you think you can be a bullfighter here in the capea? You're crazy.

Here, here, in front of the pata negra, aren't you afraid?

You guys get inside, man.

If you get out, I'll kill you.

You are shit, man.

Do you want to be bullfighters?

To be a bullfighter you have to get close.

You have to go to the bull, otherwise you won't earn a penny.

I'm more of a bullfighter than anyone here.

You, a bullfighter?

To be a bullfighter you have to get close.

And when you have this...

when you have this, and this...

and then you get close, then you say you're a bullfighter.

All right, guys.

We're all right, let's go on the attack.

Come on, let's say goodbye with a storm.

It's about time we stopped being assholes now.

Come on, if I'm an asshole for going to a capea...

Something else has hardened me, you see.

Where do you come from?

What time is this?

Well, nothing, there was a capea here, near Madrid,

and I've gone to give some...
-Capeas, huh?!?

Nothing, I've been sacrificed all my fucking life

for him, to give him a study,

but well, asshole kid,

You're not going to understand this with words, are you?

Nor with slaps either.

Besides, the bull is going to slap me harder than you,

and since I want to be a bullfighter...

Well, I don't!

And in this house my holy will be done.

And whoever doesn't understand it that way, there's the door.

-Peter...
-And you shut up!

One thing is quite clear, I'm not going to spend my life serving.

Oh well!

Pedro, he's only sixteen years old!

Sixteen years old? Don't worry.

At that age I was tired of going around the world and fighting.

And that's precisely what I try to spare them.

Fuck, man, they've been in there for over an hour.

and Don Enrique is not used to being there for more than five minutes.

Not if heads are going to fall from this one,

and all because of you.

My fault for what, man?

We can be wherever we want, we have gone to bullfight.

Right. We're here to make bitches with the carrito.

And I think we're old enough.

We are, but they are not.

Do you know how he was killed?

I saw that one arrives there, among the people, comes out and says to the bull: "pumba",

he shot him so hard that he was left with his head cut open.

And what does that have to do with bulls?

Many bullfighters have passed through there.

Here we have the example of Andr�s,

mine, and of many bullfighters.

What's more, I think I am a little responsible for what has happened.

Because I have told you about many of my exploits when I used to go to the capeas.

and surely I have influenced them

and that's why they have done these things.

I think that expulsion is not the right way to go.

No. We have to think of something.

The way is that the boys leave school

because what they are already asking for is to be organized for them to go to school.

We are not a company.

We are a school.

A school with responsibility

and a teaching task to carry out.

We don't have to ride heifers. Let the businessmen ride them

who are the ones who make the money.

And they are going to criticize us,

they are going to tell us that we exploit them,

that this cannot be.

Heifers cannot be ridden.

The kids, we have 30 of them today, so what more do they want?

The training and the teachers they have, so phenomenal, what more do they want?

Sorry, but look, Enrique,

it's not only that.

Something has to be done.

Let the boys fight, because they already know bullfighting.

But they don't fight heifers,

we don't advance anything,

we waste our time.

Well, people will criticize us in every way,

whether we do it right or wrong.

So here we have to...

They're going to want to crucify us.

I agree with that.

I agree with Andr�s.

You're crazy!

You are completely crazy,

they're not going to get away with this,

they're going to find out anyway.

Come on, it's coming, it's coming now.

Hey, you!

Let's do the duck, come on, everybody, let's do the duck.

I said let's duck, everybody, right now.

Hello, Gregorio.

Hello, Andr�s.

Hi, Pedro, what's up?

I was just passing by.

What's up, guys, what's up?

Well, that's precisely what I've come to talk to you about.

Well, you go on, just a moment, I'll be right back.

What is it, are you feeling sick, or...?

Well, no, it's not exactly that.

They don't know where he is, or at least they don't want to tell us.

That you've slapped him.

the boy,

and now the boy can't be hit, because he's not a boy anymore.

He is a man.

What happens is that this bullfighting thing is not for him.

What if the dad, now the dad: "what if my son"...

Well, what is Miguel's situation now?

Look, fourteen or fifteen days ago

he has left home

without a penny in his pocket

and he has taken two of my capes with him.

And you don't know where he is, where is he staying?

The latest news says

that he's out there with the Chinese bullfighter, bullfighting.

The other one was left on the road, I thought so....

Hey, maestro,

what, are you cool? Leave the mustaches.

Come on, it's a joke.

Luis Miguel.

I've come all the way here for you to explain something to me.

Because four years in a school forces you.

Teaching you a lot of things,

so that later you come here

to make you laugh.

I mean, making people laugh is as important

as being a great bullfighter.

You have made a mistake.

You should have gone to drama school.

So decide.

I'm going with you.

No, no, put it on,

comply with Manuel,

and go act.

Luis Miguel.

Come over here.

I wish you

good luck, son.

Thank you very much, Don Manuel.

My father sent you, didn't he?

I'm too old to be sent by anyone.

Regarding what you told me before

that I was wrong, I don't quite agree.

Because some figures have come out of the bullfighting comic shows.

Like Manolete, Antoniete, for example,

D�maso Gonz�lez...

Gregorio S�nchez, V�zquez,...

But none of them had the schooling that you have.

Let's go, we have arrived.

Come on, man, they're waiting for you upstairs, man.

Aren't you going up, maestro?

No, there are things in a man's life...

that he has to face them alone.

Miguel, son!

Man, Miguel!

-Come on, mom, come on.
-How you doing?

-Oh.
-Have you been bullfighting a lot?

-Have you had dinner, son?
-A little bit.

No, but I'm not hungry.

Well, come on, I'll make you a glass of milk.

Well, well, nothing.

Tell us about it.

Hey, Miguel.

Come here for a moment.

You've made two new dresses, haven't you?

What's the matter, are you going to go with a figure this year?

Man, I hope so.

Here, and this is for you.

We're fighting on Sunday.

Go on, take it,

it doesn't bite.

You will need some banderillero that other one.

To banderillear you have to position yourself just right, just right.

in front of the pitons.

Do not give or mark the start before or after,

because the bull then orients itself.

Then you have to place yourself right on the line

with the bull. Just look where you are right now,

and where the bull's face is.

You have to position yourself right in line with the bull.

Come on, run fast!

Whip him in there.

Look,

the punch line,

the punch line has to be tighter.

Do you understand?

Look.

No, man, no.

Look, the place is there.

Centered, on the piton.

Because punctures are very costly,

Or what do you think, that I lost my leg in a disco?

The legs, the waist, the arms,

use the head. It has to be a harmonious whole.

You have to fly in front of the bull.

You have to charge harder, because then the bull makes it much stronger.

than what we do here.

Let's go, now, sideways.

Run. Come on, Bote, that's going to happen to you that many times.

Let's see if we learn to fall.

Look, the muleta there under the

hooves, there, under the hooves.

And here the hand

and starting...

Let's see, let's learn to fall forward too.

Let's go.

And you guys watch out,

you have very few days left

and in these, all mistakes are very costly.

Miguelito, fall forward.

Help with the waist, there.

Do you see how it's different how you fight?

-I'm going, I'm going.
-We're going to be able to take him.

They're going to get him.

That's it.

Helping with the waist.

You have to fight with your face, with your eyes, and with everything, you have to fight.

And feeling it.

You have to feel it to transmit.

Lift it up a little more, no?

The lower it is when you have more adjustment.

My kidneys hurt, man.

Are you suffocated, already?

Tread lightly, tread lightly.

You can't tell the bull to stop.

Tread lightly.

Come on, let's go.

Good.

With elegance, with grace.

You have to think you're going to fall.

Hey, you, you have to think you're going to fall.

Don't fucking forget,

don't come here, it's over there.

It's there, not here.

The last thing a bullfighter needs is to get horns stuck in his sides.

Don't you realize that?

The applause!

You, hurry up.

Stay still, bastard.

Besides, rushing is only good for criminals.

and bad bullfighters.

Come on, Carretero, Cascarrita.

See you later, good luck.

Well, guys, good luck.

-You too.
-And have a good trip.

And these clowns,

how many deaths will they cause tomorrow?

I don't understand how this son of yours can fall asleep.

He's a log.

I don't like the color of the dress.

Nor mine.

And you, Sevillita?

What about me?

Do you like the color of your dress?

I don't know, I haven't even looked at it yet,

I don't even know what color it is.

This is not going to stay "jatea", is it?

Tomorrow you have no excuse.

How lucky Jos� and Bote are, they are going on a trip tomorrow, and no strangers.

Don't talk crazy, man, take it away.

You think that they also have...

Scared, huh? Why not say it?

Scared, me?

You see.

You, you're the most.

You're like drunks.

The more they hide it, the more it shows.

What's that supposed to mean?

That I'm fucked up?

You're fucked up,

me, this...

Yes?

Hi, it's me, Neyra.

And this...

Neyra, what's up?

Nothing. I didn't wake you up?

No way, man, no.

It's just that I was here

and I said to myself: "Let's see those guys with their suits"...

Okay. Besides being brave, original.

Another one who can't sleep a wink.

Hey, I didn't call you here to make fun of me.

Don't worry, man,

if we're here, more or less

we�re all on edge.

And the fellow who is sleeping now, they're not flesh and blood.

So I'm not the only one, am I?

No way, there are enough hangers-on to stop a train.

Well, I have the solution for these cases.

Well, what do you do, what do you do if you don't get going?

It's just that I'm ashamed of myself and my parents.

Let's see, I'm intrigued.

Explain to me how it is.

You take a mirror.

You look at yourselves,

You look at each other, and you'll see how in the end you'll lose your fear.

Look, fear is something that we carry inside us,

and then, deep down,

the coward is fear.

Because it always attacks us

when it sees that it can get the better of us.

Carlos, do you think it's time to talk on the phone?

Son, you'll be bothering them, let's go to bed.

See you tomorrow.

Let's see, you here,

What are you doing here?

You have no place here, man.

Go on, go and look for customers somewhere else.

What's the matter? Have you gone crazy?

Am I crazy?

Crazy that one, man, that one.

Is he bothering you?

He was trying to.

Come on, leave us alone.

-Are you ready?
-Yes, we're ready.

Well, let's take the last lesson.

Boys, today is your day,

your chance. You will dare to stand in front of the bull.

You know how to defend yourselves, you know how to cut off his ears,

you just have to do it.

Get close, sit down,

and when you dust the melutas, hook them and carry them.

I have nothing more to say to you.

Good luck, and pray.

When your glorious moment arrives, my child

to go out on the road

don't imagine, my darling

that you will not be afraid.

Enter serene and brave

calm and prudent

close to the bull.

Think that you are writing

your name in gold letters.

And that in the bullring you are alone.

Only you

and your art

You alone are with you,

you alone before your history.

You know that your enemy

can take away life from you

but never glory.

And at the moment of truth

you remember

a bullfighter, who does not make the cross

the devil takes him away.

When the glorious moment comes

my child, to go out to the ring.

Give him your arm.

Cross the opposing piton.

Well, come on now, bullfighter, well now!

Don't go backwards, my friend.

The cape down, under the shovel the piton, and long.

Down with the cape, down with the bull.

Don't go away, man.

Bote, here, to the tail, here.

You have to be there, in line!

Take him a little bit, to the center of the ring, with him.

Always put the muleta on, always put it on.

A little bit violent, but let's temper it.

Quiet, quiet, quiet.

Slowly, give him room, give him room.

Don't let him touch you.

Badly done.

Come on, let him get tired.

Come on, over there, those legs, those feet together and legs forward.

Spend it.

Stay still, damn it.

Leave me alone.

Change him, change him, change Miguel, change him.

-What the fuck!
-Come on, Miguel.

Where did you want to go?

-Show him.
-Everybody out.

Bote, from above but very stoic,

looking at the audience, almost.

We killed him, huh?

Let's kill him, kid, now.

Tell him which sword he wants.

He's coming for you.

Come on, get that muleta down.

And that arm forward,

that muleta down, very light,

let�s go.

There.

You, here, come on.

-Let's cheer up.
-Sevilla.

These things... we bullfighters have seen them.

The good ones and the bad ones.

It's all right.

Look, people are gonna take you seriously.

You saw that they applauded you, they made you happy.

And you didn't ask for it, the applause.

I want to see your father, because I want to help him,

and I want to get him into a fight.

Talk to him, he�s out there.

Okay. Your father�s a bullfighter, right?

-Yes.
-I'm going to look for him.

The vultures are already flying.

Here for the trip.

No, not money, Repiso.

Come on, here, man.

You'll need it.

Well, okay, Repiso, thank you very much for everything.

Good luck in life, son.

Sevillita is leaving.

Where will Sevillita go if it�s his turn to go shopping today?

The teacher is giving him money for the trip.

And he doesn�t want anyone to know.

Leave it alone.

But, damn it, Pepe!

What's up, kid?

Don't tell me you're signing up for school.

Yes, as a picador.

But, Pepe!

How's it going?

How's it going?

You can see, since I�m winning, I�m thinner.

Here, take this.

I thought so.

But, Pepe, Pepe, don't be a bastard, with the heat that it is, a codfish.

Come on, here.

And you open that,

See if you like it.

Pepe!

But, Pepe!

Guys, look!

Hey, guys, look!

Look what the defender has brought us.

Look at that ham.

Look at those sausages.

Let�s see if those with black legs come out

you go in such a hurry. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Maestro.

Good afternoon.

-Tell me.
-I'm Pepe.

The one who was the clerk in Luis Miguel's store.

Oh man, the wet nurse!

Yes, the wet nurse,

the defender,

it depends on the kids.

I'd like to talk to you for a few minutes.

Tell me, tell me.

If possible, in private.

Well, let's go to the office.

All right.

Don't you get a little shy about going into these places?

I've had to go in so many times out of obligation

that now I feel it's a luxury.

Let�s see, what�s that important thing

you had to tell me.

Maestro,

Luis Miguel wants to give up bullfighting.

What do you mean?

What he hears.

He wants to quit bullfighting.

He does not want to take the alternative.

He wants to leave.

Why?

How should I know...?

That's why I came to you.

And his father?

This time he has nothing to do with his decision.

He doesn't know anything.

Nobody does.

And, as Luis Miguel has always been telling me

"The maestro told me that I was wrong".

"with that, to be careful with this."

and always talking to me about the maestro that...

I�ve come to see you in case you...

We�ll think of something.

But please, maestro,

Don�t let him know I�m here.

Luis Miguel is here.

Tell him to come in.

Wait downstairs?

No, no, let him, let him in.

Can you?

Come in.

-What's up? Good afternoon.
-Man, Miguel.

Blessed are the eyes that see you, how expensive you sell yourself.

With all this talk that you're already stars, and that you fight a lot...

Nothing, you know how it is.

Okay, okay, come on, sit down.

Wow, the guy.

This was the one who gored me in Seville.

He almost took my leg off. He gored me twice on top,

unbelievable.

A lunge, huh? To the ball.

No, it turned out.

What's wrong is the hand,

the muleta raised up,

You see, I always say,

in the school, put the muleta down,

and yet here I am...

Yes, but it would fall upside down.

What a muletazo, eh?

A great bull.

That's a great bull that gave me a triumphant afternoon,

great.

And what, putting a little bit of tidiness to this?

No, tidying this up... no.

I'm tidying up this one, which I've got...

I don't even know where it is.

Because I've decided to come back.

You're going back?

You, you,

are to blame.

That I've been teaching you for three years,

and of course...

Watching them succeed,

and of course, well...

So I decided to come back.

Well, and here I was

remembering

the beautiful moments.

And I was ready to see the other side of the coin,

that�s the one I care about most.

Does it bother you? If it doesn't bother you, let's see it.

But first remove, plug in, and turn off the light, please.

What a flip, huh?

Since you might have wondered why I want to go back to bullfighting,

Why do you want to leave?

Me?

Yes, you.

You're not fooling me.

Could it be because of what we're seeing over there?

Couldn't it be because of that?

No, maestro.

Because since I started bullfighting

I knew the gorings had to come sooner or later.

But I�m not worried about that.

I am aware that tomorrow or the day after

a bull could catch me, and leave me like the maestro Serranito,

or the maestro Tenille.

But no, I'm not worried.

So what are you worried about?

This is a trap, isn't it?

Of course it's a trap.

Why?

I'm fed up, maestro.

I�m sick of the audience.

Because they pay 2000 pesetas a day,

the next day they think they have the right to insult you.

And those who live at the expense

to say whether I've done well or badly.

That they do not have more risk, more than they leave

the pen in the pocket, and the jacket is stained.

But this guy, but this guy....

Well, and the others... the others rightly said,

that they are vultures.

There are two reasons why I'm in this, maestro.

One is because it's my life, and it's what I like the most.

And the other is for the money.

And I have to spend two whole seasons in bullfighting.

to pay for the cheating they have done to me.

Here you go, here you go,

And finally in the box without shoe polish.

We've taught you everything you need to know.

to stand before the bull.

But off the bull

you have to fight a lot.

And that, the only one who can teach you

all those things, is life.

Think about it.

If no, good luck.

If yes, it gives me joy.

Let me give you the choice.

What?

Did he really say that?

Would you really give it to me?

I really would.

It won't be another cheat, will it?

No, man, no.

-Really.
-Would you give me the choice?

Really, I'd give you the choice.

Good afternoon.

Aren't you going to ride a horse?

When you let me.

And Luis Miguel?

Good afternoon, Luis Miguel.

Man, I knew you'd come.

What's up? I heard that the companies won't let you fight, right?

Job stuff.

Are you nervous?

More than a turkey at Christmas, man.

Okay.

Maestro, it's time.

Have you seen Miguel?

Yes, maestro.

And how is he?

Cheerful.

He's got half a school inside.

Leave him alone, the maestro has to pray.

Good luck, Luis Miguel.

Lord, help him.

I beg you.

He�s just starting out.

And you, Luis Miguel,

don't forget that despite that kind of audience,

despite all those vultures,

when the one with the black legs comes out

you will be alone.
