Blaga’s Lessons
dir. Stephan Komandarev
BG, GE, 2023., 114’
When a retired, recently widowed teacher falls prey to a phone scam, she’s left robbed of her life savings and without any money for her late husband’s grave. Her life turns upside down when she realises there is no way to get her money back, until she receives an alluring, yet suspicious offer for work. Stephan Komandarev’s drama premiered at the Karlovy Vary International Festival and won the FIPRESCI award at last year’s Cinehill.
