Yana Lekarska

One spring day in her complicated, frenetic life, Irina decides to escape her present tensions and returns to the seaside town where she used to spend idyllic summer holidays as a child. To her surprise, once there she meets Boris, a childhood friend she hasn’t seen in 20 years. Now adults, the two of them will soon rediscover the secrets of their shared past, a past that may well change the course of their futures. An absorbing tale of friendship, time passing, and second chances, talented writer-director Lekarska’s debut feature film premiered in March 2024 in the International Competition Section of the 28th Sofia International Film Festival, where captured the Audience Award.

“A breath of fresh air … The chemistry between Neda Spasova and Vladimir Mihailov is undeniable … An enviable achievement.”
