A visual poetry about the lust of a man chasing a woman, dictated by the mind of Kurt Schwitters.

Once upon a time there was a country… People lost it out of stupidity and greed and continued to live in the shadows of a once happy world. Now they are building a new society, but it seems history is repeating itself… Travelling Country is an animated fantasy fairy-tale about the quest for identity and freedom.

A film project throwing a bridge between poetry and animation. It visually interprets 6 original contemporary Bulgarian poems, each told in a different manner. Animation has no limits and very much like poetry renders visual symbols and metaphors powerful. Stories of doomed paper boats, intimate links to film genres, petty morning crimes, ice-cream hopes, urban moods, and industrial revelations are interwoven in this visual poetry experience.
