From his humble beginnings in Seville to his retirement at the Algaba Bullring at nearly 67 years old, this film reviews five decades of the professional and personal career of the bullfighter from Camas. An immersion into the life and figure of Curro Romero, featuring interviewees from both past and present, photographs, unseen footage, and fictional sequences, as well as a collection of ideas and testimonies from some of the most relevant figures in bullfighting and personalities such as Joaquín Sabina, Miquel Barceló, Andrés Calamaro, Miguel Poveda, and Carlos Herrera (among many others), with Juan Echanove also narrating the film. A true manual on the “currista” philosophy, a farewell letter from one of the most illustrious bullfighters of all time.
