Roots

ROOTS is a short documentary that explores the cultural heritage of Milanovo, a Bulgarian mountain village where tradition is woven into every stitch of its folk costumes. Through the dance team’s devotion to wearing these authentic garments during festivals, the film reveals how clothing becomes more than fabric - it carries memory, identity, and the spirit of an entire community. Four women, who still dance in these costumes, share intimate stories of love, nostalgia, and the importance of preserving the past, offering a glimpse into the roots that keep our culture alive.
