Description

"You have to love the mountains to live here." Nevertheless, at seventeen Salva left, returning many years later with �ngels to the family farm. Now it's a holiday centre. "I was sleeping in the tent. The bear was eating a sheep fifty metres away," says Must�, a shepherd who moved to the Pyrenees from Morocco. "Born here... without doctors, without anything." Josep has never left his mountain village. Once a secretary in Barcelona, his wife Mar�a is now the farmer in the family. Five in-depth life stories from the fifteen in Mountain People. Stories of hope in the face of adversity, reflecting our common humanity. Stories that, like the surrounding mountains, will ignite your imagination.
