Synopsis: The Sash with Its Own Voice

Ciscu, an experienced casteller from the Castellers de Sants, has decided to step aside and make room for new generations.

With its own voice, this sash will share all the adventures and emotions it has experienced, passed from hand to hand over the years, with its new owner, Isona.
