Description: Chief Inspector Max Camara hates bullfighting, but one hot afternoon in Valencia he has to replace his boss in judging a festival CORRIDA, starring Spain's most famous young matador. That night, he is back in the ring, and what he finds on the bloodstained sand shocks the city of Valencia to its core. As Camara hunts down his prey through the streets and bars, firecrackers echo around him in the build-up to the spring festival of FALLAS, and the town-hall election. The anti-bullfighting campaigners, and the breeders of prize beasts fight their corner. The bullring is a test of virility, but should it be a site of national pride or shame?
