Sand and Blood (1988) explores the intertwining themes of bullfighting, music, medicine, transformation, and subtle homoerotic undertones through the lens of a complex friendship. Francisco, an ambitious bullfighter, is so dedicated to his craft that even romantic pursuits fail to distract him. Following a minor car accident, he crosses paths with Manuel, a doctor who attends a bullfight but leaves early, visibly disturbed. Manuel's wife, who is also his musical partner in a string quartet, expresses concern over his emotional state, as Manuel has a history of mental health struggles. Manuel's disdain for bullfighting, rooted in his memories of Franco's Spain, begins to challenge Francisco's resolve. Manuel joins Francisco on a trip to Spain for a crucial bullfight, raising questions about Francisco's future and the nature of their evolving bond.
