10/10

10 November 2005
Warning: Spoilers
This movie represents the historical reality in the Bulgarian's life during the five century slavery of the Ottoman empire. Probably in the most historical textbooks you won't find the poor reality and the suffering of the people, only facts, which can't describe the real life of the Bulgarians. xxx SPOILERS xxx The movie represents the history of one village in the Rodopi mountains. The population is forced to change it's religion - from Christianity to Islam. All the events are based on the real stories, collected by the author from the people living nowadays in these mountains. If you are interested in the history events, probably this movie will be very interesting for you. It's a masterpiece based on TRUE facts, not an imaginary story. Warning: the movie contains a lot scenes of violence and it's not recommended to be seen of children.
