In Spain, a friendly, non-violent, flower-loving young calf named Ferdinand lives on Casa del Toro, a ranch that raises and trains bulls for bullfighting. Not willing to be raised as a violent bull that will one day be forced to fight against matadors in the bull ring, Ferdinand runs away from Casa del Toro after his father Raf fails to return from a bullfight and his favorite flower is squished by Valiente.
