A melancholic portrait of a washed-up matador confronting his faded glory and obligation, bound by duty and a fraught relationship with his nephew.

Hyacinth, a former matador who lives miserably with his nephew Pepote, receives a letter reminding him that, as agreed a few days before, he must participate in a bullfight to be held that same afternoon.
