Synopsis
This film is about a family of four, living in self-imposed exile within the conservative and often conformist Bulgarian society. Wanting to shelter themselves from the collapsing world, they live in a basement and have kept their independence over the years. The children, who don’t go to school, are educated by their parents. In their Noah’s Ark, they take dogs, canaries and even a rat, to set off on a quest for balance and meaning. Like an unofficial heiress of the hippie generation, they ignore social rules and refuse the comfort to routine, turning their backs on materialism and consumerism.
