Little Matador

The documentary focuses on three young bullfighters, each with their own unique story. Michelito, at just ten years old, is already a well-known figure in the bullfighting world, having killed over two hundred bulls. His journey is marked by the pressure of living up to his father's expectations and the ambition to become the youngest matador in history.

Nine-year-old Joel's narrative takes a different turn. Abandoned by his father and neglected by his mother, Joel finds hope and support in his matador teacher, Ismael. However, Ismael's own professional struggles threaten to disrupt the bond they've formed, leaving Joel's future uncertain.

Then there's Andrea, a twelve-year-old who began bullfighting as a means to cope with her father's absence. Defying his wishes to abandon the sport, she grapples with her identity and the consequences of her choices. Little Matador delves into the complex lives of these children, highlighting their resilience and determination in a demanding and dangerous tradition.
