2023, Bulgaria, 54 minutes, documentary
Director: Ivan Aleksiev
Script: prof. Vera Naydenova
Cinematography: Kaloyan Bozhilov
Producer: Veselka Kiryakova
Through the brightest examples in the history of Bulgarian poetry, the film explores the territory where the woman was a source of inspiration for the man. In the context of today’s ideas of equal rights between sexes and the extreme believes that we must stop using words that separate humans based on their gender (such as Man, Woman, Father, Mother), the project explores the question whether we will keep using the word “MUSE”?
