The documentary Thorn is dedicated to the actor, civil fighter and activist Stojan Velkov Thorn. The film covers several stages of his life, but the most important is the psychological intersection of his inner world, a spiritual struggle that in one part will turn into a relentless struggle with the general evil. The film is divided into five parts: Earth, Silence, Theatre, Rebellion and Home.
Thorn is a man whose life and art overlap in an ideal synthesis. There is nothing contradictory in his wild and unbridled nature to save the world from ecological and moral catastrophe. He does it through art and life. He is a man who always tells the truth, but also an actor who questions that truth and the possibilities of the human freedom to choose good or evil. In the part “Theatre”, Thorn prepares himself for his biggest role, the role of Lucifer in George Gordon Byron's play “Cain”. Here, he is an embodiment of the primordial evil that explores the possibilities of its effects on humans. On the stage, Thorn raises the most important question - Is there a God and why is man left alone to deal with the hardships of existence? Why did Cain kill his brother in the sunrise of mankind? Can the devil ever repent and return to good? Can the truth win in the end?
The theatre is a field in which truth and falsehood, good and evil, and the devil and God collide. In the “Silence” section, he stands alone among the indifferent crowd in the town square and with a sealed mouth and silence he protests against the cruel capitalism that wants to open a deadly mine on the most fertile land (where he lives). Thorn is a pillar of the movement that fights the threats of the deadly investment in Strumica valley.
In the “Rebellion” section, Thorn stands as a leader of open-minded people protesting against insidious partisanship and corruption in the sector of culture. “Departization of Culture” is the motto that leads him in the uncompromising struggle with the system and the dysfunctional Ministry of Culture. In the parts “Earth” and “Home”, he is completely immersed in the root of his nature and life. A man of nature who wants to understand and transmit the laws of nature and the purity of the earth to his children and family. A fighter who creates overhaul he stands for the platforms of the ecological revolution with his own hands. He is the very example of the idea! His home is an oasis, a space of humility, fire and plentiful light that gives meaning to his daily struggle with the world that looks like a big theatre stage.
He will say in a monologue - Do not enter into a fight if you are not ready to lose everything!
The film “Thorn” is a document about a man who does not give up, a man who makes art from his life and a new life from art.
