Synopsis
My Tender Matador (Tengo miedo torero, 2020) is a drama you can watch online — a tender, aching love story set against fear. Santiago, 1986, the dying years of Chile's military rule. An aging cross-dresser known only as the Queen sews tablecloths for wealthy women and daydreams about romance that never quite arrives. Then a young man named Carlos walks into her world: charming, guarded, clearly tangled up in something.
Carlos asks her to store some crates of "books," and the Queen agrees without asking what's inside. That single favor drags a lonely dreamer to the edge of an underground resistance she never meant to join. Alfredo Castro plays the lead with a fragility that quietly breaks your heart — a man falling in love for the first time while sensing it can't be returned. Director Rodrigo Sepúlveda adapts Chilean writer Pedro Lemebel's novel, weaving boleros, gunfire and bitter wit. For viewers who love small stories told inside enormous ones.
