Alphabet of Hope

A mountainous area on the border between Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey with a history marked by religious conflict. However, the Bulgarians, Turks and Roma living here have established unwritten rules of understanding in their life together. Until the last day of school, the camera follows the path of children from two families - Bulgarian and Turkish. Under extremely difficult conditions, they travel 140 kilometres every day to the only school not closed for the sixteen villages in the area, where Bulgarian, Turkish and Roma children study together.
