После двадцати пяти лет во Франции я возвращаюсь в Болгарию с камерой в руках, с головокружительным подозрением: а если моя семья сотрудничала со спецслужбами коммунистического режима?

A touching portrait of a young generation trying to build an oasis in a hostile environment where the forces of destruction continue to wreak havoc.
