每一個人一生中都會面臨很多抉擇的機會，您是照著別人的規劃還是做出忠於自己內心的選擇呢？Monolo在最後一刻做了抉擇，而大部份的人是否有這種勇氣呢？這是值得思考的事。
Manolo was only three when his father, the great bullfighter Juan Olivar, died. But Juan is never far from Manolo's consciousness -- how could he be, with the entire town of Arcangel waiting for the day Manolo will fulfill his father's legacy?
But Manolo has a secret he dares to share with no one -- he is a coward, without afición, the love of the sport that enables a bullfighter to rise above his fear and face a raging bull. As the day when he must enter the ring approaches, Manolo finds himself questioning which requires more courage: to follow in his father's legendary footsteps or to pursue his own destiny?
