To see the forbidden places of her childhood, Kapka Kassabova took a journey to her homeland. What she discovered were forests, mountains, and landscapes so beautiful that they took her breath away. This is where Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey converge, in the ancient Thrace. Until 1989, this area was a shadowy, wooded Berlin Wall. And now? She sees the forests of the Strandzha Mountains and deserted villages in the Rhodopes, encounters smugglers, poachers, and ordinary people who share stories with her about love and death, the past and the present, and what it feels like to suddenly be moved from the edge to the center of the world.
