The Dreamed Adventure

Directed by Valeska Grisebach

With Yana Radeva, Syuleyman Alilov Letifo, Stoicho Kostadinov, Nikolay Shekerdjiev and Denislava Yordanova

Journeying home to the Bulgarian hinterlands on the border of Turkey and Greece, Saïd seeks out a fuel-smuggling deal with a small-time crook, attracting the attention of Iliya, the local kingpin. Sensing danger, Saïd enlists the help of one-time romantic interest Veska, an archaeologist who years earlier had fallen in with the swindlers and operators of the post-Communist era. But when Saïd goes missing, Veska takes over the smuggling operation, deftly moving among the thunderous, posturing men and coming-face-to-face with the underworld that shaped her past.
