This film is a Doc-Biography of Catalan writer Josep Torrella i Pineda, and also it's the first chapter of a Sergi Rubió's project, entitled "Sabadell, bressol d'artistes": a collection of 20 Doc-Biographies of 20 artists from Sabadell, born before 1940. Nowadays, 10 years after the shooting of this documentary, the next Rubió project for the next artist comes to life, this time focusing on the Catalan painter Joaquim Montserrat i Camps. Written by

In the year 2010, for the centennial of his birthday, the family members and the descendants of Josep Torrella asked for a copy of the film so as to show it publicly in the town of Sabadell, in September of that same year. By some stroke of bad luck, the first effort to open the film at the Alexandra movie theatre resulted in negative feedback as far as the sound quality was concerned and thus wasn't considered apt for public viewing. After a strong request by the Torella family to show the film in Sabadell, Rubió brought the documentary to a production house so as to do some important remixing and improvement of the soundtrack as a whole. To this day, from 1996 up until today's date, it is Sergi Rubió's sincere desire that the project be finished once and for all. See more »
