Through some of its protagonists, we discover one of the oldest and most spectacular traditions in Spain, that of the bell ringers of Utrera. With more than 500 years of history, these men risk their lives to keep alive an activity that is unique in the world and that since 2011 has been fighting to be recognized as Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Cultural roots, risk, the feeling of cohesion or the recognition of one's own identity play a fundamental role in these men, who raise their bodies to fly over the bells, giving rise to a spectacle like no other. With the most advanced technical means, this documentary shows this feat like never before seen.
