<b>This screening will have a short 5-minute introduction and a post-screening Q&A with Filmmaker Inma de Reyes, and features live music by Noelia Blanca Basilio.</b> </i>Scottish Premiere</i> Filmed over five years, this intimate coming-of-age documentary traces the life of Borja, a young boy growing up in Castellón, a coastal town in Spain where the legacy of bullfighting casts a long shadow. Borja inherits the weight of his grandfather Matías’s unfulfilled dream of becoming a professional bullfighter. For Matías, it’s more than tradition; it’s a hope for escape from generational poverty. But for Borja, the path ahead is narrow, hemmed in by orange groves, fishing boats, and the blood-soaked sand of the bullring. As he grapples with his future, the film captures the quiet tension between progress and tradition in a place where choices are few and dreams come at a price.PT1H21M12A2025-09-14The Boy and the Suit of Lights (IberoDocs)"The Boy and the Suit of Lights (IberoDocs)"
