In the early twentieth century, a group of tricenarians struck by wanderlust travel through Europe to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights. Opting to live loosely and adopt the ideals of the booming Jazz Age, James, Lady Brett, Bill, Mike and Robert struggle to uncover the meaning of their lives and their place on this big blue marble.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American writer whose achievements as a master of fiction changed to course of twentieth century literary history. Born and raised in Oak Park Illinois, Hemingway served as an ambulance driver on the Italian Front in World War I. He returned home after being severely wounded in 1918, married his first of four wives in 1921, and moved to Paris to pursue a career as a writer. His first novel, The Sun Also Rises (1926), was based on his experiences there. Over the next few decades, he worked as a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War and World War II and wrote his novels A Farewell to Arms (1929) and For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). From the 1930s through the 1950s, Hemingway divided much of his time between Key West and Cuba, where he wrote The Old Man and the Sea (1952) and became infamous for his fishing and drinking exploits. Throughout his life, he maintained a passionate dedication to big game hunting and bullfighting, writing numerous stories and articles on the subjects. His minimalist style and accessible language earned him both the ire of critics and the admiration of generations of readers. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, making him the fifth American to win the prestigious honor.
