The story of the director’s debut feature follows the trials and tribulations of an old, senile villager after his house is burgled. Originally written as a short, Lament for the Silent Fool is now destined to be the debut feature by Bulgarian director Dimitar Kutmanov. The project is being staged by producer Poli Angelova through Screening Emotions, a production company that has made a name for itself with various independent projects, and is expected to wrap post-production before the end of 2020. The screenplay, written by Kutmanov himself, follows an old man (Mihail Iliykov) who lives in a virtually deserted mountain village. After his house is burgled, he will drift around in search of help, but this endeavour will expose him to new forms of cruelty and pain. Brought to the limits of physical and moral resistance, the old man is about to lose the last thing that he has.
