SURRENDER is a poetic documentary that highlights four of the most captivating Bulgarian male dancers (Krastyo Metodiev, Remi Toin, Nikola Hadjitanev & Svetoslav Seropyan) and lifts the curtain on who they are and why they dance. Combining their original performances with first-person documentary accounts, the film traces each man's personal relationship with dance to understand how it interacts with the idea of masculinity in Bulgarian society.

SURRENDER (2021)
The film will combine dance shots and answer the questions of how they started dancing, what was the reaction of others, do they feel that dancing helps them to be more connected to their masculinity, why dance is perceived as something feminine, does it help them to show weakness, etc.

The film will focus on the visual expressiveness of the dance for the camera, including dancers not only from Sofia, but from different cities and different styles.
