Vladislav Ikonomov

The protagonist in this picture is legendary Bulgarian Khan Krum - a ruler in the beginning of IX century. In this period, Bulgaria ranked third in Europe in terms of territory and military power. It is Khan Krum who contributed to the union of Bulgarians and Slavs. He enforces unseen to that day laws against calumniators, thieves, violators. It stirs discontent among his closest men. The ruler is smart and just, but isn't he too severe? At what cost can one ensure order and progress in a state?

Vladislav Ikonomov's student film made at Łódź Film School.

The film recounts the 1876 Constantinople Conference of the Great Powers, at which a proposal was made to Turkey to grant autonomy to the Balkan territories.

Kirill Velev, a partisan and communist, committed suicide after the failure of an anti-fascist underground group. It happened in the forty-fourth. And in 1951, the stubborn facts closed in an inexorable chain and testified: the commander of the partisan group Walter was given to the Gestapovs by Kirill Velev. This is the verdict of the people's tribunal, not subject to appeal. The accused did not appear at the trial.

A gray border, dull village. Time seems to have stopped in this place. The appearance of a beautiful woman breaks the monotonous way of life and challenges the colorless group of men and makes them come out of their shells.
