In the early months of 2013, at least seven Bulgarians set themselves on fire in public, a wave of self-immolations tied to skyrocketing electricity bills, grinding poverty, and a political class widely seen as corrupt and indifferent. The film travels to Varna and other Bulgarian cities to piece together what drove ordinary citizens to this extreme, talking to protesters, family members, and witnesses who watched the demonstrations turn from street marches into something far darker. Plamen Goranov, whose death outside a Varna municipal building became a rallying point, anchors the story as the film traces how his act helped topple the sitting government. Interviews and street footage capture the anger at utility monopolies and the sense that legal protest had stopped working. The film treats the immolations not as isolated tragedies but as symptoms of a country buckling under two decades of post-Communist economic hardship, asking what happens when people feel they have no peaceful way left to be heard.
