Built to fight. Born to love.
About
Ferdinand is a gentle giant with a heart far larger than his imposing frame. While other young bulls at the Casa del Toro training facility spend their days practicing their aggression, snorting, and engaging in tests of strength, Ferdinand finds solace in the simple joy of sitting quietly under his favorite cork tree to smell the flowers. Despite his physical transformation into a massive and powerful specimen, his peaceful spirit remains unchanged. The conflict of his life begins in earnest when five recruiters arrive at the farm seeking the fiercest and most combative animal for the high-stakes bullfights in Madrid. Due to a sudden and unfortunate misunderstanding, the calm-natured Ferdinand is selected as the candidate for the arena. Forced away from his pastoral life and thrust into an environment that demands ferocity, Ferdinand must navigate a world that cannot comprehend his refusal to fight. Based on the beloved children’s classic, this story explores the resilience of the individual as Ferdinand searches for a way to return to his peaceful home while remaining true to his own kind heart, ultimately challenging the expectations placed upon him by those around him.
