Detelin Benchev

Vassil (41) is a documentary film director who has not achieved the success he dreams of. He puts all his energy filming the broken relationship between a monk and his mother. Meanwhile Vassil's wife and their 14-year-old daughter take second place in his life. The director learns that the monk is in a psychiatry while his mother will have to undergo a cancer surgery. To bring them together to forgive each other is Vassil's long awaited finale of his film. He faces a dilemma to shoot "life as it is" or show human compassion and empathy.

This is a story about an Easter-time vacation. The film-makers returns to the 1960s because that is the time of their childhood. With a fine sense of irony they dwell on the relations between an adolescent boy called Slaveiko and a little girl Bogdanka who has come down from Sofia, his mother and father, Aunt Nelly and the Doctor, and make us consider the responsibility of adults to children.

Yonko is a young man from a provincial town. For the fifth time, he is not accepted into the art academy. His father comes to help. But this can happen at the expense of humiliation. There is a gap between father and son. What kind of artist would Yonko become if he didn't have dignity?
