Featured reviews
As a bonus, the movie provides an opportunity to view a seldom-seen national cinema (at least in the West), namely Bulgarian cinema. Besides the film itself which will leave you thinking for a long while, after watching this, you may wonder what other pearls like this one from Bulgaria remain unseen by other audiences, and why?
Shot on video on an obviously low budget, the film pulls out some funny moments from the cultural clashes between the villagers and the headstrong young girl.
Other than that there's really no story to speak of and the editing is so slapdash that you really do have to be as high as the villagers (and obviously the filmmakers) in order to avoid a headache. Still it does have some scruffy charm and some real offbeat humour.
