A Philosopher in the Arena

Directed by Aarón Fernández Lesur, Jesús Muñoz

Written by Rafael Casañ, Aarón Fernández Lesur, Jesús Muñoz

After his retirement, french philosopher and bullfighting enthusiast Francis Wolff decides to embark on a journey to France, Spain and Mexico joined by two mexican filmmakers who hardly know anything about bullfighting, a culture whose days seem to be numbered. During their road trip, they encounter numerous personalities with whom they reflect on mankind’s relationship with animals and nature, but most importantly on our relationship with death and the meaning of the ultimate journey: life itself.
