Dancing with the Matador

Sam Harris’ boys are in college and his empty house brings back daily reminders of his lost wife. His partners convince him to take a sabbatical and he is drawn to southern Spain where thirty years earlier, he spent some of the happier times of his life.

While sipping vino tinto in Puerto Banus, two things happen simultaneously that take him back to the carefree days of his youth. As Sam notices an old poster of Spain’s most famous bullfighter advertising a bullfight that he had actually attended with a woman he once loved, four women enter the restaurant.

The features and mannerisms of the brunette remind him of an English girl he had asked to marry him thirty years before. The wine, poster and this beautiful woman causes the events of the year he spent hitchhiking in Europe to flood back into his mind. Sam follows as the women leave the restaurant as he must know if the brunette is his lost love.
