Bullfighting in Yucatán, Mexico is a world exclusive to men—yet for Elena María, it’s her life’s ambition. With the help of her friend, a matador’s son, Elena begins training secretly. When she discovers her seemingly inherent talent can beat even the most accomplished toreros, she must choose between accepting or breaking society’s limits. A world premiere, Torera tells a poignant story about becoming your truest self by proudly stepping into the ring.
