A torero (Spanish: [toˈɾeɾo]) or toureiro (Portuguese: [toˈɾɐjɾu]) is a bullfighter and the main performer in bullfighting, practiced in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Peru, France and various other countries influenced by Spanish culture. In Spanish, the word torero describes any of the performers who actively participate in the bullfight. The main one who is the leader of the entourage and who kills the bull is addressed as maestro (master) and his formal title is matador de toros (killer of bulls) but the word "matador" by itself is not used in Spanish. The term torero encompasses all who fight the bull in the ring (picadores and rejoneadores). The other bullfighters in the entourage are called subalternos and their suits are embroidered in silver as opposed to the matador's gold.
An alternative word for torero is toreador in English (and in Bizet's opera Carmen), but this term (older than torero)[citation needed] is not used in Spain and seldom in Latin America.
A very small number of women have been bullfighters on foot or on horseback, a recent example being Cristina Sánchez. Female matadors have experienced considerable resistance and hostility from aficionados and other matadors.[citation needed]

Plot: Angel, a young Hispanic man experiencing romantic woes (Arias), tries to defraud his way to financial gain by swiping credit cards at a gas station, but is caught in the act by the leader of a gang of home invaders (David) who forces him to chose - to join the crew of depraved burglars in their pursuit of trespass, or face uncertain reprisal. For a time it seems that Angel was born for this life of crime, but the gang's transgressions continue to devolve until the inevitable disaster brings about their unraveling, leaving Angel to chose where his loyalties lie - between his fellow gangsters and his own destiny as a prison-bound felon. On the all-too-short road from urban minority to wannabe gangster, will Angel learn fast enough - the life-lessons that just may help him save his own fate?
