Synopsis: Bogre is a road-movie on the traces of Cathars and Bogomils, heretics of the IX-XIV centuries. The director and his crew make a trip from Bulgaria to the Pyrenees in search of cultural and religious relations between two great spiritual and social movements that questioned the authority and power of the dominant Church, proposing itself as “the true Church”. Bogre tells of a medieval world that only at first glance seems far from our time. The film reflects on the freedom of thought and faith: it is a heretic who affirms the right / duty to choose according to conscience (to prove it is the etymology, from the Greek haìresis, choice).
