The documentary tells the story of Dimitar Voev. Bulgarian underground artist whose lyrics and music boldly resisted the oppressive rules of totalitarian socialist regime in Bulgaria during the late 80’s and the painful transition that followed. His stylistics turned symbolic to a whole generation that was painfully aware of the political regime’s impotence and refused to obey it. His profound metaphors portray the pursuit of freedom and are still relevant today.
