The abandoned village of Esc\u00f3 in Arag\u00f3n Spain, where they have lived all their lives, is today facing its second threat of extinction.<\/p>\n<p>In 1959, under Franco&#8217;s regime, Esc\u00f3 was expropriated for the planned construction of the Yesa Reservoir. The village was abandoned by all but one family, the Guallars, who refused to leave behind their home and livestock. Today, brothers Evaristo, F\u00e9lix and Baltasar Guallar live alone in Esc\u00f3, grazing their sheep and sharing the same bedroom assigned to them as children. However, their beloved village, now in ruins, is under threat again. The construction of a motorway to the Pyrenees is underway. It will eventually cut through Esc\u00f3 making the brothers isolated lives impossible. What will be the final fate of the Guallar family and the curious place they call home?<\/p>\n<p><em>When the Mountain Rumbles<\/em> is Alba Bresol\u00ed\u2019s first collaboration with Polar Star Films.
