Hristo Dimitrov 'Hindo'

Aux confins de la Bulgarie rurale, Petar traverse les saisons et le temps de sa vie humble : le travail, la terre, les brebis… À l'écart du monde des hommes, il suit son chemin et accepte son destin sans regret.

Lorsqu’une jolie princesse au caractère bien trempé refuse d’épouser le cruel sociopathe auquel elle est fiancée, son père, fou de rage, la fait enlever et enfermer dans une tour isolée du château. Face à un prétendant vindicatif et méprisé qui n’a de cesse de chercher à usurper le trône paternel, elle va devoir trouver des solutions radicales pour non seulement protéger sa famille et elle-même, mais aussi sauver tout le royaume.

There is a small frontier post. A soldier abiding by the rules of the system gradually turns into a murderer.

8 minutes and 19 seconds – that’s all the time we have until the news about the death of the sun reaches us. That's what it takes for the light to travel from there to here. And then the darkness comes… But the theme of this Apocalypse is not necessarily going to be expressed through a global cataclysm, horsemen of the apocalypse, angels of death, fire and destruction. It will rather be shown as something very personal, intimate and almost silent.

The film follows the exciting life of legendary Father Georgi from Zheglartsi (1923–2015) with powerful shots from the last year of his life, and his inspired preaching on his very deathbed. With no pride-modesty the starets recounts the epic of his life in Christ during communism. He was not scared nor silenced, he did not budge nor flee, he did not yield to temptation, to revenge, or to hatred. A genuine hard-working proletarian, with muscles and character of iron, he rose up to his full stature against the System and defeated it in single combat. In the hard years of atheistic persecution, when many priests renounced their faith and abandoned their ministry, the uneducated labourer from the obscure village decided to fill the void, and to become a priest.
