As in her first feature Thirst (WOW 2016) Tsotsorkova grounds her story in the everyday, showing the formative influence of work and family, while subtly revealing the powerful emotional undercurrents that lie beneath. Once again the story is driven by a powerhouse performance from the remarkable Monika Naydenova as Rayna, the mouthy teenager with an overactive imagination.
“a dizzying helter-skelter in which social portrait, psychological thriller and melodrama go hand in hand.” Cineuropa
“‘a confession of love to those who live such seemingly unremarkable lives. It seems to me that we all owe a debt to the truth about the kind of world we live in” Svetla Tsotsorkova
