Mihai Viteazul: Printul Intrat In Legenda Europei
The Castellers de Vilafranca have one goal: to reclaim their title as the best colla in the world of castells. The Castellers de Vilafranca have one goal: to reclaim their title as the best colla in the world of castells. After losing the last Castells Competition in Tarragona in 2018, their leader, Sisco, is determined to push his team to the limit to rise to the top once again. But how far is he willing to go to achieve this? When is enough truly enough? Sisco must weigh the safety of his people against the honor of victory. Michael, a Londoner with a passion for castells, serves as the narrator of this obsession with winning. Fifteen years ago, he encountered the "Catalan towers" and has since made frequent trips from London to Catalonia to participate in rehearsals and festivals as a member of the colla. Through his eyes, we explore how the world perceives the mystery of this majestic and addictive 'sport'. How is it possible that children dare to climb so high? Are their parents crazy? Al Cim (Catalan Towers), filmed in both Catalan and English, tells the story of castells from the perspective of an outsider-someone who approaches this tradition with curiosity and fascination, practiced by a passionate group of Catalans for over three hundred years.
