Hacer La Luna (To Make the Moon)
Synopsis
The film focuses on one Spanish boy, Jorge Contreras, and his efforts to become a bullfighter. Jorge is helped mostly by his father, who has always dreamt of becoming a torero himself. The relationship between father and son tells us a lot. Not only about bullfighting and Spain, but also about courage, freedom, killing and Oedipus.
