On his daily rounds on the tracks, railway lineman Tsanko Petrov stumbles across a bag full of money. Instead of keeping it, he reports it to the authorities. While everyone is making fun of Petrov’s sincerity, he is to be honoured as a hero in an official ceremonial act – a very welcome opportunity for Julia, the tough PR-manager of the Ministry of Transport, to whitewash her ministry’s misconduct. Before the ceremony, she puts Petrov in a new suit and takes off his watch because he is to be awarded a new one in front of the flashing cameras. Afterwards, Petrov’s own watch, a heirloom of his deceased father, he has always guarded as gold, has disappeared.
Slava is about the struggle of a simple man fighting for his rights, with black humour it paints a picture of the deeply divided Bulgarian society.
From 7.00 pm, all visitors are invited to a reception in the foyer of the Cinema im Ostertor.
