Sure as Eggs Is Eggs

Sure as Eggs Is Eggs

Something eggstraordinary is happening in Rome.

9 min · ★ 10.0 · Thriller, Comedy, Mystery

White eggs, wrapped in red thread, are appearing everywhere. On the streets, at press conferences, in fountains, galleries, and restaurants. Nobody knows what they mean, yet everyone is certain they mean something. Elo, a Uruguayan journalist, films one and posts it. What follows is a perfect, self-sustaining machine: media amplifies fear, fear demands more media, and somewhere in the noise, a man jumps off a building. The yolk is on Elo. The eggs... remain eggs. 'Sure As Eggs is Eggs' is a satire about mass hysteria, fake news, and the terrifying ease with which nothing becomes everything.

Tsar Boris is acclaimed as a saviour by the people of Russia. But, as his troubled reign unfolds, he is consumed by guilt over the means by which he attained the highest power.

Conceived to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the magnificent St Alexander Nevsky Memorial Cathedral at the heart of the city in 2014, Sofia National Opera performed in the open air at the entrance to the building. The production also commemorated the 100th anniversary of Boris Christoff and 85th of Nicolai Ghiaurov, the two great Bulgarian basses who were the outstanding exponents of the title role during the second half of the 20th century. Today’s Bulgarian artists combined forces to present this spectacular and unique tribute.

Where Time Stands Still
Movie
In the heart of Bulgaria lies Kran, a village where time seems to hold its breath. 'Where Time Stands Still' is a love letter to this magical place, told through the eyes of a pure-hearted woman who came for her honeymoon and never left. Under skies where the stars fall within reach, amidst mountains that cradle the Valley of the Thracian Kings, life unfolds at a rhythm lost to the modern city. Here, mornings begin with a chorus of birds and roosters, days stretch in harmony with neighbors, and faiths intertwine in shared celebrations. Children grow free beneath the Balkan peaks, learning life from nature rather than screens. A portrait of peace, belonging, and timeless beauty, this documentary captures a world where every moment feels eternal, and where love — for place, for people, for life itself — becomes a destiny.
