The presence of a woman in a bullfighter's entourage has always been unthinkable.

However Joséphine Douet travelled during a whole season with bullfighting superstar José Maria Manzanares and his team to portray their life from the most intimate side.

It's a story about overcoming superstitions, joining a brotherhood of men and eventually becoming a part of it. A very private view on an unknown closed world.

"Peajes" is also a book.
