Paintings, performances, experiments, electronic music sounding in the spaces of two old houses in a small Italian town, heated conversations about contemporary art, touching meetings with the closest people and places in Bulgaria after 50 years of separation. “Flying with Fins” is a film about the constant search for meaning in art and life. Alzek Misheff, artist – rebel and experimenter, leads us in this philosophical and aesthetic journey through time, space and ideas.
