What Is Matriarchy About?

The premise of Matriarchy without spoilers.

Part of Bulgaria’s ‘migration cycle’ of films, it follows the quiet drama that unfolds when an entire village’s male population departs, leaving a community of women to govern their own ‘female kingdom’. The story explores their isolation, the reshaping of daily life and roles, and the emotional resilience required to sustain the village in the men’s absence.
