" There is a scene in La Niña de fuego, in which the character of Oliver explains why in Spain bullfighting is still widely accepted by the population. Spain is a country that has not yet resolved its inner conflict between the emotional and the rational and from there comes this fascination with the depiction of the struggle between instinct and reason which takes place in arenas. La Niña de fuego was born of the obsession for this struggle, which, to a greater or lesser degree, is latent in every human being, making us beings in eternal conflict. " (Carlos Vermut)
