Bulgaria, 2026, 80 min., Bulgarian with English subtitles, dir. Andrey Chertov
For decades Lachezar Oshavkov has lived between countries and cultures. Painter, singer and thinker, he travels the world yet always returns to Paris, the city that becomes his emotional anchor. Observational and poetic, the film reflects on memory, displacement and the universal search for home, suggesting that art can become a source of light even in uncertain times.
