Philip Bukov

Inspired by the events of the 2001 'Indigo' club tragedy in Sofia and similar recent cases in Europe, a raw, distinctly female portrayal of adolescent friendship, the intensity of girlhood and the heartbreak of bonds that fall apart, set against the social realities of 2000s post-socialist Bulgaria as the country steps into the European Union.

A series of absurd situations and culinary catastrophes alternate between sincere laughter and bitter tears. And the big question remains: is the pursuit of the perfect reputation worth it, or does the recipe for true happiness lie somewhere else?

"Dads" traces the daily lives of four fathers and the challenges they face in dealing with their children. The characters have different professions, characters and social status, but are united by a common desire - to be good parents

Anton is a 30-year-old artist who deals in forgery of paintings, money and all sorts of petty scams. Extremely brash, cynical and unscrupulous. He has few friends and many enemies. In addition, he borrowed money from the cruel gangster Sofia, who sent the mutt Stambata on his heels to collect the debt. Just when Anton is cornered by the printing press, Major Georgi Stoyanov appears - an ambitious, charming, smart, but at the same time unscrupulous policeman. He offers him, or rather forces him to get close to the rich business lady and patron Maria and find out if she hides the Picasso- Harlequin painting that disappeared ten years ago, and in return he will buy him some time in front of Sofia. A tangled game of cat and mouse begins between them all, in which only the most cunning and unscrupulous will win, and the prize is Pablo Picasso's priceless Harlequin.
