She falls in love with the fiesta brava, the bullfighting ritual that has withstood centuries of change. We will meet Manolo Garay, Chico Ruiz, and Antonio Salazar, three boys coming of age the hard way, their future driven by the promise of gold on the ends of the needle-pointed horns of the brave bulls that maim and kill in the bullrings of Mexico every Sunday. The story encompasses the aspirations of these three young aspiring matadors; from out of the way village fiestas, to the small towns and their Sunday bullfights, and in the end the ultimate center of the taurine world - Plaza México, the largest bullring in the world.
