Human towers have been built for centuries both in Catalonia and India. The Castellers de Sants from Barcelona are invited to take part in the Dahi Handi festival in Thane (Maharashtra, India). This leads to a new dialogue between two very different social and cultural realities, separated physically by 7000 kilometres but sharing a passion that is unique in the world. The environment, the causes and the techniques are different, but the emotions are the same.
