Drama

A group of German construction workers set out for a foreign construction site in the Bulgarian province. The strange country awakens adventure feelings among the men. At the same time, they are confronted with their prejudices and mistrust. For two of the men, a nearby village becomes the stage for a competition for the recognition and favor of the village.

VIBE

A stark, observational drama that slowly builds tension. It feels like watching strangers navigate a foreign landscape, confronting their own biases and the wary gaze of locals. The atmosphere is heavy with unspoken conflict and a sense of unease.
