The movie is everything you need it to be - there is drama, suspense, slow moments and humor! Very nice cinematography and absolutely amazing representation of Bulgarian mentality about foreigners or anything that's different from them.

A pretty well made Bulgaria dramedy

I honestly liked the overall concept of the story, the film felt a bit slow at times, but it had few pretty good acts. I liked the tone and the mood that it created, the locations were great and the night shots with the cars are also visually stunning.
Good!

Being from Romania (being neighbors with Bulgaria, we have the same mentality), I understand the film very well. I only give it 9 out of 10, because it's black and white....the images could've been very nice, especially from the seashore. That's right, I'm not really an ''artist'', i am just a viewer!
10/10

As a romanian from an ex communist country i reconize this problems caused by the.passing from communism to capitalism.99 % FROM AL EX COMMUNIST COUNTYES BECOME AFTER THE FALL OF COMMUNISM RACIST AND NAZISTS. Even with nazi ukrainian refugees the situation is aproximatively the same.
Amazing Bulgarian low rated movie

Thanks to Cinemax TV program I had watched this low rated Bulgarian movie. I'm Bulgarian and never heard this one before so I'm surprised how black and white recorded movie could took my attention. Literally watched it on 100 % interest. It's a movie for the things of the life especially shown from the Bulgarian side. People in the small villages are with simple minds , they are hard to accept the new and the unknown and in this particular situation is perfect way to understand what is it. Also give you a good point that everyone is equal on this planet. Please watch it you won't regret for it.
Boring, annoying, oh-look-a-black-man shallow

In contrast to new school Bulgarian directors, trying to make movies about times they haven't lived in, there are the old school directors, trying to make movies about times they wish they haven't lived in.
There's always this slow-paced melancholic vibe, often represented in black and white, weird, piss-poor characters that the director tries to pursue the viewer are beings who don't deserve their misery, but often fails so. And so it happens here. The failure, I mean. Our "heroine" is one of those unpleasant, overacting stereotypical characters you can hardly associate with, let alone like. The story becomes predictable 10 minutes in and it's not an original one. Nor it is intriguing or touching. Frankly, I could hardly care about the faith of any of the screen characters. They are completely lifeless. Soulless. Same old, same old.
Ivailo Hristov was a good theatrical actor (back in the day, when every stage act wasn't a mixture of back pain and boredom) but is not really fit for cinema director. All of his movies are based on superficially pumped but painfully cliched topics of little significance and carry the same message, the same moral dilemmas, the same confrontations and the same attempts to crack some jokes in the middle of it all. But it is the fact this movie has been deliberately funded by the National Movie Fund, just so there's Bulgarian submission for 2021 Oscars, is what really pisses me off. Oh, you insolent, selfish mðthérfúçkers.
