Transporting the viewer from Mexico to Canada, this docufiction tells the tormented childhood and personal transformation of a mysterious painter haunted by death and the anthropomorphic depiction of bulls. Mixing live action and cartoon, Toro is a surrealist journey through the origins of a vocation and the liberating power of immigration.
