This a nostalgic journey to… our present; a documentary about a small
town in Bulgaria situated to the left of the main world routes, inhabited by
descendants of Bulgarians expelled from Aegean Thrace and Macedonia,
which nowadays lie outside Bulgaria.
The film brings together history and memories, love and envy, camels and
buffaloes, broken vocations and pride, shyness and self-confidence, the
search for family roots and emigration, a comedy festival and personal tragedies, dolmens and tipis, destruction and creation, romance and reality, essence and insanity, oneness with Mother Earth and alienation, happiness and misery, despair and stoicism.
