Built to fight. Born to love.

Ferdinand poster★ 7.2

Ferdinand, a little bull, prefers sitting quietly under a cork tree just smelling the flowers versus jumping around, snorting, and butting heads with other bulls. As Ferdinand grows big and strong, his temperament remains mellow. But one day five men come to choose the "biggest, fastest, roughest bull" for the bullfights in Madrid— and Ferdinand is mistakenly chosen.

The emergence reading

In Ferdinand, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “bullfighting arena”. The story fights on E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing tradition, identity, violence.
