"Set in a totalitarian Sofia in the 60’s, a recently released convict who had been wrongly accused of murder is on the run from a gangster who wants to get his hands on the diamond the two had stolen just before he was thrown in jail. As he navigates through the streets, he comes in contact with strange individuals and a world that seems unfamiliar to him, and searches for the one true love of his life who has the appeal of the femme fatale from the classic film noirs. A Bulgarian film that sharply throws together every kind of influence from classicist and modern cinema in a gripping and stylish post-modernist violent crime drama."
