Obarnata Elha plot
Six separate short stories, linked by a huge pine tree, which is cut down in the prologue and then travels through Bulgaria to be raised up again in the capital at the end of the film. The tree acts as our guide through the land. We see the people and how they live, and we are taken back in history, to ancient Greece and Socrates. A birthday party in a mountain house, a lyrical story about a pregnant teenager, a snapshot of a gypsy family, a story about a suicidal man and a symbolic mass dance. Man and woman, young and old, rich and poor - everyone is confronted with the meaning of life and everyone deals with it differently.
