15-year-old Hugo is an almost typical teenager. His dream is to become a bullfighter. La première épée in the life of a young bullfighter, is the first killing of a bull. This vital stage reaffirms the student in his choice and should allow him to pursue the long path to his consecration. Through the filter of the passion for the sport and the rite of passage of the kill, this film hints at the nature of adolescence.
