BALANDRAU, WILD WIND 17.10.26 – 19:00h - Teatre de la Vila Duration: 116 minutes Language: VO Catalan, French Rating: Not recommended for under 12s Artistic sheet: Direction: Fernando Trullols Script: Danielle Schleif Cast: Álvaro Cervantes, Marc Martinez, Bruna Cusí, Anna Moliner, Eduardo Lloveras Synopsis: With a cast led by Álvaro Cervantes, Bruna Cusí and Marc Martínez, Fernando Trullols makes his debut in direction with a striking and distressing true story that highlights love and resilience as engines for survival. On December 30, 2000, a group of friends prepare to reach the summit of Balandrau. The sun and good weather accompany the group during the ascent, until, in a matter of seconds, everything changes unexpectedly. A wild wind, known as a torb, triggers the worst storm in the history of the Catalan Pyrenees, a monster of cold, snow and wind that turns the mountain into a deadly trap. Based on true events, the film is a story of extreme survival, of friendship and solidarity that shows how, before the unpredictable, human beings can be as fragile as powerful. Balandrau, wild wind is both the chronicle of one of the worst tragedies triggered by a meteorological phenomenon in Catalonia and a tribute to the nine hikers who lost their lives and to the technical and volunteer teams that took part in the intense rescue operations over three days and three nights.
