Screenplay
Kristina Grozeva, Decho Taralezhkov, Petar Valchanov
After the Fall of Communism in the early 1990s, a classified task force of high-rank Bulgarian Army officers led by a psychic channeler starts digging a hole in search of a mysterious artifact which will bring about the ultimate triumph.
A military satire inspired by wild real-life events from the 1990s when, in the chaotic aftermath of the fall of communism, a task force comprised of high-ranking Bulgarian army officers and psychics embarked on a top-secret military operation in the small village of Tsarichina to dig up an elusive alien artifact that would change the course of history and make Bulgaria great again. An absurdist, suspenseful comedy that digs into the turbulent past of a country in transition and a people who learn how to live without the custodial gaze over their shoulders.
