"Blood and Sand" - bullfighting, inimitable matador, Spanish color. The famous bullfighter Juan Gagliardo, who comes from a lower class, is bathed in the nation's love. The crowd roars enthusiastically when the matador teases an enraged bull and dodges its horns at the last second. Gagliardo is playing with fate. Each exit to the arena could be his last, and this thought relentlessly haunts him...
The famed torero wants everything in life. Including the mysterious aristocrat Doña Sol, a lover of thrills and exoticism. But bullfighting is cruel. The bull takes its own, and Gagliardo finds himself on the verge of life and death. It's hard to return to the arena after being wounded. Especially when constantly haunted by the fear of the bull, and the audience demands spectacle and suicidal courage. Poetess Margarita Pushkina wrote the song "Torero" for the rock band Aria, inspired by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez's novel "Blood and Sand". It is a philosophical and psychological novel. Behind the apparent simplicity of the story about the life of the famous torero Juan Gallardo there are difficult questions about the essence of people and human cruelty.
