Not Far Away From Heaven

A feature-length documentary tracking four diverse characters navigating the complex social and geographical realities of modern Bulgaria. The narrative functions as an observational and humanistic inquiry into spiritual faith, cultural fragmentation, and personal resilience, bypassing conventional travelogue formatting to capture the raw, daily friction between traditional beliefs and contemporary life.
