Film gives an unflinching look at the masquerade that takes place in Bulgaria.

The documentary gives an unflinching look at the masquerade that takes place in Bulgaria, a state that has joined the European Union with the American Dream deeply ingrained into its psyche. The journeys of a star news anchor, a muscular bodyguard turned representative, a former secret service agent and an anti-communist dissident collide in an interwoven tragicomedy. With a sharp humour, director Georgi Balabanov reveals how fossilized systems are perpetuated.
