Bulgaria

Класс!

We follow 3 young Bulgarians to the former Communist Congress building 'Buzludja', located at the top of the Balkan mountains on the outskirts of the provincial town of Gabrovo.

18 years after the collapse of communism they talk about what they feel about this once secret building that has been both a symbolism of suppression and a representation of freedom.
