    • Trivia
      Selected as the official representative of Bulgaria in the Best International Feature Film category at the 2023 Academy Awards. However, the film was eventually disqualified because more than 50% of the film's dialogue was in English. The selection committee was chaired by Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova.

    All children are (should be) ours

    The latest film by Zornitsa Sophia will certainly not leave you indifferent - it touches you, stimulates reflection, delights with images, it is like a cold shower for the "Western man" staring at the tip of his nose. It is a story about finding your own place on Earth, discovering what is most important, about the boundless poverty and the beauty of a child's smile. Zornitsa Sophia proves the over-ethnicity and over-cultural nature of children's tragedies, once again proving the universalism of love. The postcolonial costume put on by the director adds another semantic field to this extremely rich cinematic patchwork.
