In the heart of the Pyrenees, stands Tor, a town shrouded in mystery and considered by many as the Catalan Far West. Carles Porta immerses us in a story of smuggling, escapes of Republicans and Jews, and a battle between maquis and civil guards. In 1896, thirteen families registered a mountain in their name, with the condition of keeping the fire burning all year round. But times change, and with them, the desires to live in a place without basic amenities. After two deaths and years of legal disputes, a judge ruled that Sansa was the sole owner of the mountain, only to be murdered five months later. Who killed Sansa? Carles Porta offers testimonies and documents that invite reflection on this unsolved crime, narrating a story that has turned Tor into a mythical scenario and a metaphor for the history of humanity.
Carles Porta i Gaset is a Catalan journalist, producer, director, screenwriter and writer, specialized in crime journalism and investigation.
