“1 Sea” is a run along the shore of inspiration – a visual narrative documenting the first complete run along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. In 2024, Silvia Kiosseva and her team took on a bold challenge, covering 400 km from Durankulak in the north to Rezovo in the south. The film is not merely a chronicle of an athletic feat but an ode to the magic of the native seaside. Journeying through sand dunes and rocky cliffs, this grueling yet inspiring expedition reveals the strength of the human spirit and the raw beauty of the Bulgarian sea.
