THE HAMLET ADVENTURE
Spiritual Documentary

Bulgaria, USA, Germany, 2008, 81 min.

Obsessed by Hamlet's tragic character since adolescence, writer-producer Stanislav Semerdjiev ventures to stage a new post-modern version of the famous plot at the peak (8000 feet) of the most mysterious Bulgarian mountain - Rila. For the implementation of his crazy dream he gathers a multinational team of 70 and secures music rights from the cult composer Mark Snow (X-Files, Millenium, Smallville). After nine years of ordeals the desperate bunch finds out that the “mission impossible” has actually lead them to a new understanding of the meaning of life, both similar and opposite to that of Hamlet.
