    Belmonte struggles to accept that he is no longer the best bull-fighter around. Due to his sickness and old age he cannot perform at his best, let alone anywhere near his performance from earlier in his career. He tries to cheat himself into thinking it all will be the same by fixing it so he gets to fight smaller, less dangerous bulls.

At that moment he begins to discover that his time of fame is over.…
