“Manolete” by Menno Meyjes

manolete

“Manuel Rodríguez has become a famous bullfighter: “Manolete”. His life takes place between squares throughout Spain, roads and hotels. He is a man with a tragic countenance, shy, sober and sparing of words. Lupe Sino is a beautiful woman, with a dark past, cheeky, proud, and tender. Until now, the bullfighter has lived pursuing a single dream: to succeed. When Lupe bursts into his life, the right-hander falls madly in love and success takes a backseat. This is his story: a passion that defied death and ended up paying for it. ”
