Kecove) is a 2011 Bulgarian adventure film directed by Valeri Yordanov.[1] The film won a Special Mention at the 2011 Moscow International Film Festival.[2] It was also selected as the Bulgarian entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards, but it didn't make the final shortlist.[3]
The characters set off for a vacation at the seaside leaving their problems (family problems, relationship problems, trouble with the police) in the city (Sofia) behind. They meet at a remote beach at the Black Sea and form a band of young people spending time together living on the beach. The film describes their individual personalities, their philosophies and struggles with live and their relationship with the other characters in a hippiesque environment.
