346:„Letters from Antarctica”(2019) – Lenta Films. Director: Stanislav Donchev; Writers: Georgi Ivanov, Nevena Kertova; Stars: Diana Dimitrova, Irmena Chichikova, Ivan Stamenov, Christo Pimpirev; Consultant: Christo Pimpirev. A single mother, wanting to protect her eight-year-old son from pain, lies to him that his dad is away with the Antarctic expedition. But postponing the confession about the father's death, causes damage to her and her son. Some of the film's pictures were indeed taken on the Icy continent during a Bulgarian expedition to Livingston Island. Christo Pimpirev himself plays the role of leader of the Bulgarian polar expedition. With the footage filmed in Antarctica, the film sets a precedent in the making of feature films in the world.
