Behind them the sea, an infinite expanse.What at first glance looks like a beautiful spa by the sea, the people of Varna call it THE PIT. A cinematic portrait of the Bulgarian present and the investigation of a microcosm that stands for an entire society. Individual   biographies, touching personal stories, interpersonal conflicts and exciting discussions combine to form a diverse picture.
