Synopsis
In a small town in northern Italy, a child, Matteo, grows up surrounded by coffins and with his mother seriously ill. He dreams of going away, and dying as a hero in an arena.
In the grasslands of Andalusia, a calf, Fandango, is bred to become a bullfighting bull.
Matteo and Fandango grow up in distant, parallel worlds, but one day they must meet and face each other, in front of thousands of people.
