Produced by Stank, the film takes place in a small village in the Pyrenees of Catalonia. Every single year, for the last 125 years, as September nears, the village celebrates Festa Mayor. A mad four-day celebration where people of all ages, walks of life, sex, locals, guests, and strangers from neighbouring valleys and beyond, dance, drink, and rejoice together…
