This movie was recommended to me by a Bulgarian friend who proudly described it as a world class motion picture. It was supposed to be a comedy, but after watching it I was no longer sure what the genre was. It had only a few funny scenes a person who was not brought up in communist Bulgaria would find funny. I seriously doubt the story would reach an audience outside of Bulgaria. Some countries of the former communist block are its best shot. Choosing a location outside Bulgaria to make the movie more appealing did not help in my case. Neither did adding some native English speaking actors to the cast. Acting of the Bulgarian cast was sub-par. I could not make sense of some of their English sentences. If that were intentional, they were not targeting English speaking audience for sure. The story had the potential for a B-movie, but the execution fell short of that. The Bulgarian film industry has a long way to go before it could be accepted by a wider audience.
