A young journalist comes across interesting report material: talented marine engineer Maria died while on duty. Her story turns out to be quite a puzzle though - people who knew her are not willing to share much. Trying to make them speak, the journalist presents himself as her son. He hopes to dig up the truth about her and spares no effort, ending up at the bureau for investigation. The report he's writing never gets published but his belief system certainly gets challenged.

Tetevenska 24

MovieDocumentary

Archival footage of the 40s of the 20th century alternates with the narrative of the main character. He received his military service as an internal intelligence courier. The hero recalls the Inquisition of the arrested, who were interrogated in the building at the address "Tetevenska" 24. The film is a portrait of a little man caught in the twists and turns of history. The hero is torn between the pain of his memories and the need to expose them to the ideological canons of the 80s. For the background of this drama, the impassive faces of today's residents of this house are very far from what ever happened in it. —Georgi Djulgerov
