In the span of twenty-four hours, the fate of various people’s lives will collide and be affected during each individual’s taxi ride in the streets of Sofia. All are victims of the decline of a suffering nation.

Stephan Komandarev explores the fissures and crevices in modern Bulgarian society, using several interconnected subplots to delve deep into the country’s psyche. “Bulgaria is a country of optimists. All the pessimists and realists left long ago,” remarks one of the characters.

Filmography: The Judgment (2014), The World is Big and Salvation Lurks Around the Corner (2008).
