Ventsislav Vasilev

Bulgaria, Ukraine, 2015, 80 Min

The violent death of Bobi's father helps him escape from a Bulgarian penal colony. At home however his criminal uncle awaits, and he's keen to get his hands on some promised spoils, the hunt for which only opens old wounds.

100 Films Production

Bobi has no premonition of where his father might have concealed the coveted loot. The funeral brings back memories and also goes a long way to revealing the brutal nature of the protagonists' father-son relationships. Progressively the portrait of a sensitive young individual forced to grow up in heartless surroundings emerges. Will his fresh start be shaped by forgiveness or revenge? A calmly-narrated feature film début that furthermore, almost casually, uses a series of desolate locations and landscapes to speak of the decline of the EU's poorest member state. JG
