Following a commission from the College of Architects of Seville, for the production of a documentary about the La Alameda de Hércules area of the Sevillian capital in a debate about its possible destiny and urban planning challenges, the filmmaker Juan Sebastián Bollaín, offers this visionary realistic and critical, at the same time experimental and iconoclastic, portrait of the problem of the transformation of historic centers in our cities.
Seville 1913. Juan is a weak-looking boy who has grown up in a marginal environment. But it transforms when at night it challenges bulls in fences. Calderón, an old bullfighter, looks at him, in his rare ways, in his passionate attitude, and guided by a strange obsession introduces Juan into the way of being a bullfighter. In a short time, Belmonte becomes a hero in his land, but his great challenge will be to face Joselito in the most important square: Madrid. Biographical film around one of the most emblematic bullfighters, Juan Belmonte.
Fake documentary about Seville and its imaginary innovations in urbanism.
