synopsis
A documentary film with a dramatic arc illustrating the fairy-tale notion that “true treasure is not made of gold but is found in the human heart”. In his almost carnival-like film, the Bulgarian director shows the lives of a group of outsiders living on the shores of the Black Sea, dreaming of finding a legendary pirate treasure.
The beach where most of the film takes place is located in an area known as Karadere – one of the last places in Bulgaria with natural beaches, untouched dunes and saltwater marshes.
