What seems to be a wonderful spa at the seaside is known as just THE PIT among the people from Varna. By examining the microcosm of this place the film creates a cinematic portrait of the Bulgarian society.
“I am grateful that we had the chance to make THE PIT. I find it overwhelming that the story of this special place in Varna and of the people of my home country will reach the audiences all over the world.” - Hristiana Raykova
