Played, desired and enthusiastically received at all times, “Bulgarians of Old Time” remains a sign of identity and is a romantic alternative to today’s aggressive and confused times, which gives viewers of all generations a unique chance to experience. “The young play and the old are rejuvenated” with the eternal power of laughter, self-irony and love.
An exciting story about love, filled with familiar Bulgarian images and faces, which tells about the “obstacles” between two lovers who are aiming for the wedding. Comic situations, magnificent musical moments and folk dances in a unique way complement the funny plot, which in our hectic everyday life makes us laugh at our native manners.
The issues it deals with are eternally relevant. The revelation of the unique Bulgarian folk psychology, as well as the built parallel with our modern times, make the viewer have fun, smiling even at their own views and ideas about the world.
Beauty and love, the pride of the Bulgarian, laughter and love, may they remain in our hearts for a long time with the Bulgarians from the “old” time!”
