The Javis and Carles Porta are preparing a series about Tor

BarcelonaHBO Max announced this Wednesday the development of a new original drama series, produced by filmmakers Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, in collaboration with journalist Carles Porta, which will be inspired by the story of disappearances and murders in Tor, the village in Pallars Sobirà.

Screenwriters Fran Araujo and Eduard Sola, Goya winners for One Year, One Night and House on Fire, respectively, will bring this project to fiction, which will revisit the events and legends surrounding this case from the 90s, combining "mystery, suspense and human drama", according to HBO Max in a statement.

Through their label Summa Content, the series will feature executive production by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, directors of the film The Black Ball and series such as The Messiah and Paquita Salas. Calvo and Ambrossi consider that the series about the mystery of Tor "could be one of the company's most iconic productions due to its ambition and scale". "We want to create something we haven't seen before: a series in which nature, landscapes and spaces are protagonists in their own right, without ever losing the voice of the characters over several decades, within an addictive narrative", they highlight.

The proposal by 'the Javis' will be an approach from fiction to a case that Carles Porta has addressed in different television and journalistic formats from a non-fiction perspective.
