Synopsis
In Bulgaria, there is a tradition to inform about the passing of a person by means of a special announcement. Usually it is hung out in some public place - at a bus stop, on a fence or the front door of a house. Such a leaflet is called a Bulgarian street obituary. The camera turns out to be next to a Bulgarian family going through mourning, and spends one day in a local village.
