Les Reptiles

A film by Kristina Spassovska

Bulgaria · 2024

Synopsis

In 1983, in communist Bulgaria, Borislava is released after being imprisoned for trying to flee the country with her fiancé Julian. However, her swift release arouses growing suspicion among those close to her, while she faces pressure from the regime. The tension persists right up to her wedding to Julian, who is still behind bars. A gripping film that delves into family tensions and the oppression of a totalitarian system.
