★★★★★ “Goosebumps! Truly moving”
Sinopsis
‘Castells’, or human towers, are a Catalan tradition that provides children who participate in them with a wealth of knowledge and experiences. Children are called ‘canalla’ and the group of children at the top of the tower is known as ‘pom de dalt’. They not only do they learn the technique of climbing, but they also learn to interact with people from very different social backgrounds, cultures and generations, as well as values associated with generosity and effort, and how to manage their emotions, especially fear. Considered by the ‘castellers’ themselves to be one of the best documentaries about this cultural phenomenon, this is undoubtedly a film that will move you.
