Park za tancuvashti mechki (2005)

Plot

Bulgaria is the last country in Europe where not long ago, dancing bears could be spotted in the streets, led of chains by bear-keeping gypsies. Under pressure from environmental organizations this practice was banned. With generous financial help from Western foundations, the world's largest and most sophisticated Dancing Bear Park was built near the small mountain town of Belitza, and the surviving animals were resettled there. The film tells the story of the bears and of the people - the former bear-keeper who have been left without their livelihood, and the local impoverished population, who say with envy: "In Belitza life is better for the bears!"
