It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The whole world needs more movies like this, with English subtitles, please. I understand this Bulgarian drama, because I'm from Cuba island; my country has been suffering Communist for more than 50 years!, and everybody knows the rest of the story."When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons." ― Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol.4: 1944-1947 "Even if a man spends his life staring at shadows, he will still know where the sun is." ― John H.D.

I bought the film recently and visioned it yesterday. I was deeply impressed, sad and angry at the same time. The unbelievable cruelty of it all. One has not to be Bulgarian to realize all the horror of the situation, to feel the helplessness, sadness and hopelessness of the people attacked. It doesn't remind me of anything, except.. fear. The fear that is being instilled to all of us by ISIS...in Syria. Obviously the system of the people of Allah hasn't changed in centuries.Taking young boys and use them as executors, making little monsters of them. It happens to-day. Cruelty all over, no mercy for anyone who doesn't adhere to their view of religion. The shouts of Allahou Akbar are heard again in our time."L'Histoire se répète" it is obvious. Never has any film been so actual in 2015. The film is grand, magnificent if not so horrible a topic and so prophetic of what I hope may stop some day and never visit any of us. The film is at the same time "History" and "Actuality". Fearfull.

This is the best Bulgarian movie ever. You must watch it. Incredible movie . . . Whether when watching this movie it does not flicker Something in the center means your... You are being called Bulgarian. One of the spot of the movies that cart me away I to be blue for 2 days so.When looking at it you understand how we are great nation The Bulgarians. The brother-5 eyelids are not themselves ... and now will not surrender. Let us lower heads when redheads mistake Our history,, and we to stand proudly up to the torturers as well to show that we are the Bulgarians to them A park.

This movie represents the historical reality in the Bulgarian's life during the five century slavery of the Ottoman empire. Probably in the most historical textbooks you won't find the poor reality and the suffering of the people, only facts, which can't describe the real life of the Bulgarians. xxx SPOILERS xxx The movie represents the history of one village in the Rodopi mountains. The population is forced to change it's religion - from Christianity to Islam. All the events are based on the real stories, collected by the author from the people living nowadays in these mountains. If you are interested in the history events, probably this movie will be very interesting for you. It's a masterpiece based on TRUE facts, not an imaginary story. Warning: the movie contains a lot scenes of violence and it's not recommended to be seen of children.
