Vacation with Kids

A group of children spend their holiday by the sea and get into one comic adventure after another. The supervision of the grown ups is loose; the children set up an order of their own, make their own rules and land themselves in trouble constantly. The film comes from Bulgarian children’s cinema of the seventies and makes the summer itself the real subject of the account. It does not set out to teach a lesson and leaves the world of the children as it is. The sea, the camp and the length of the summer days are the real material of the account; what the children are after is not growing up but filling the day. The account shows the adults only from a distance. Dimitar Petrov’s seventy six minute Bulgarian film was completed in 1972.
