An immersion in the Voden Iri-Hisar hunting reserve in northeastern Bulgaria, a unique place for its attention to natural resources and the wildlife that inhabits it. Naturamorta follows the hunting cycle by tracking the work of the guides and in particular that of Plamen, a reclusive figure and a man deeply connected to that ancestral place. Divided into different moments of the hunting season, the documentary tells us, through remote observation, the different facets of an activity that moves away from the merely sporting connotation. A natural home to several species including the noble deer, Voden Iri-Hisar is a coveted and at the same time almost mythical destination. What is the function of hunting guides? What are the consequences on hunters who accompany clients toward the appropriation of trophies? The documentary asks several questions about the nature of this tradition and the link between man and nature, which here becomes inseparable and sometimes contradictory.
