We learn that bullfighting is a formal, stylized, highly dramatic form of art in the sports world, where it is practiced differently in Portugal than it is in Spain and Latin America. The bull's life is spared and if he is a brave bull he may spend the rest of his life on a ranch rewarded for his bravery. Otherwise, he is sent to the slaughterhouse.
The short focuses mainly on the training of bulls and horses for the art of bullfighting. Finally, we get to see the real excitement of the ring where the bull has to be excited and tormented to want to go after the matador (or the matador's cape).
We see amateur bullfighters twirling their capes in stunts before the crowds enter the ring. It seems everywhere you look young men are training to become bullfighters in the Spanish tradition.
Interesting, but the B&W photography is on the dull side and doesn't capture the color of the events.
