Vídeo | The Imperfect Cathar, Víctor Amela HD

Year 1306: with his curved blade dagger, Belibasta kills. He flees to the south of the Pyrenees. From Occitane to Morella. From murderer to saint! A Jesus with his Magdalene. Some believers, the last Chatars hidden in Valencian, Aragonese and Catalan villas. A faithful and migrating sheep shepherd. An inquisitor that aims to become the Pope. A greedy and cunning spy. An emancipated and poisoner widow. From friendship to betrayal! From cohabitation to a forced marriage. Year 1321: from a sacrificial journey to a birth. And from a dagger to a carved stone… This absorbing novel, rigorously based on facts and historical characters, reconstruct the daily life, the dreams and beliefs of a bunch of heretics at the dawn of the XIVth century. Treasures and flocks, Moorish and seers, rituals and inquisitors, Jews and Templers, quarry workers and whorehouses get interlaced in this real story. The spiritual and the carnal converge in a seven hundred years old plot in which love will have the last word… ———————————————– Víctor Amela (1960) has been working as a journalist more than half of his life.
