Лидия Стефанова

At the end of the 18th century in Bulgaria under Ottoman slavery, a young woman leaves home and family to become leader of a guerrilla gang.

This is a story about an Easter-time vacation. The film-makers returns to the 1960s because that is the time of their childhood. With a fine sense of irony they dwell on the relations between an adolescent boy called Slaveiko and a little girl Bogdanka who has come down from Sofia, his mother and father, Aunt Nelly and the Doctor, and make us consider the responsibility of adults to children.

Ten tourists with a guide set off on the "pearl in the crown" for mountaineers in Bulgaria - the Kom-Emine route. The group is diverse in age and occupation - from 18 to 70 years old. Among them are realists and adventurers, "stars" and intellectuals - a famous model, a successful vlogger, a professor of philosophy, an extravagant movie star and various enthusiasts and researchers. All of them set off on the road in the Balkans, charged with enthusiasm, desire and dreams, but also with fears and secrets. And the higher they climb, the more difficult it becomes, not only in the mountains, but also in their thoughts and relationships.
