In a quiet Spanish village, a giant bull named Ferdinand lives a dreamy life in a field of flowers. Unlike other bulls who yearn for the fame of bullfighting, Ferdinand prefers to sniff his garden and feel the softness of the flowers. While his companions practice bravery and prepare for battle, he immerses himself in his own world, enjoying the peace and beauty that surrounds him.
However, his idyllic life takes an unexpected turn when he is mistaken for a fierce bull and taken to the city to participate in a famous bullfight. As Ferdinand tries to adapt to his new reality, his kind-hearted personality shines amidst the chaos he never asked for. His gentle heart makes him an unexpected star, attracting the attention of both the spectators and the matador, who seeks to defeat him.
Throughout the movie, Ferdinand challenges the expectations of his surroundings. Instead of succumbing to the aggression that everyone expects from him, his resilience and love for life teach everyone, including the humans around him, the true meaning of strength and courage. With a focus on acceptance and friendship, his story becomes an allegory about the struggle to be oneself in a world that often insists on imposing rigid norms. Will Ferdinand manage to escape the arena and return to his beloved field of flowers?
