1979
By Dimitar Petkov, written by Dimitre Zlatinov
Drama - Crime
Bulgaria, 87 mins, 2020
A provincial town in Bulgaria, in the night of 28 December 1979. The Soviet troops have just invaded Afghanistan. Fear is hovering in the air. The army is in high alert. Three militiamen and their superior get entangled in a deadly story.
A militia boss, officer, fucks the 19-year-old wife of his subordinate. For one night, during the duty, four guardians of public order.
The story starts with unfaithfulness and ends up with a murder, committed not out of jealousy but to save his life.
This story starts with unfaithfulness and ends up with a murder. The unfaithfulness is from necessity, and the murder is for alibi.
During socialist times, the so-called socialist realism ruled in Bulgaria. It did not show the battle between good and evil, because the evil was banished. The conflict was between the good and the better. In this story the deceit meets the lie and the evil faces demons...
WE ARE LOOKING FOR: Co-production partners and pre-sales with European countries that can relate to the spirit of liberation from totalitarian power over humanity nowadays: nk@novokino.com
