Marcelo, a veteran “banderillero”, is determined to continue practicing his profession in Barcelona while his wife looks for a decent job for him. With what he earns dressing in his bullfighter's outfit for money in the city center, he waits impatiently for the call of a bullfighting promoter who promised him one last opportunity outside of Catalonia. When a man approaches him on the street to offer him a performance at his karaoke bar, Marcelo will have to choose between an unlikely return to the bullrings or settling down once and for all.
