A young boy named Manolo Olivar lives in Arcangel, a small city in Spain. His father, Juan Olivar, is a famous bullfighter and Manolo is always compared to him. His father died during a bullfight from the bull. Manolo has a lot of pressure to fight his first bull at the age of twelve, when his father fought his first bull. Six men have been preparing Manolo for his day to fight his bull. He is scared to fight after he sees a goring, which is the horns of a bull getting in the limbs of a fighter. Manolo's best friend, Jaime's, brother's dream has always been to fight his very own bull. Manolo invites him to his first fight, but he doesn't know what the count will say. Will Manolo surrender or will he follow his father's footsteps into fame?
