El Litri y su sombra

In a small town, a legendary bullfighter, known as El Litri, returns after a long absence, only to find his past haunting him. His former rival, now a respected figure in the community, harbors a deep resentment. El Litri also grapples with a lost love and the consequences of his actions, forcing him to confront his own shadow and seek redemption.
