A film by Eliza Petkova
According to the legend, a dragon named Gincho is responsible for the disappearance of young women in the Bulgarian mountain village of Pirin. Almost only old people still live there without a doctor or priest, whose many empty houses are gradually being swallowed up by nature. But the committed mayor has not given up faith in the future. He wants to turn Pirin into a tourist attraction – and is trying to find a girlfriend on the Internet along the way. (Filmfestival Max Ophüls Preis 2022)
German cinema release: 9 March 2023 at 8 p.m., in presence of the movie team at
