Bulgaria's "LadyZ", directed by Georgi Djulgerov, was awarded the best film at the 11th Sarajevo Film Festival Competition.
The best film award is the main prize of the Sarajevo Film Festival's Competition Programme, sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sport. The winner pockets EUR 25,000.
The 11th Sarajevo Film Festival Competition Program encompasses films from nine countries in the region. This year, films from Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia, Macedonia, and for the first time in the Program, a film from Hungary, competed for the prestigious award The Heart of Sarajevo.
The festival competition programme jury, presided by Miki Manojlovic, also included Vessela Kazakova, the rising star of Bulgarian cinematography, who featured in "Mila from Mars" and "Stolen Eyes".
"LadyZ" saw its world premiere at Sarajevo Competition and features in the programme of "Love is Folly" festival, which opened on Friday.
The film is a tragic comedy about an orphan girl who knows nothing better than the animal way but at the end comes to realize her only chance - to be human. Zlatina has grown up in an institution for abandoned children. So has Lechko, her younger follower. At a fun fair, at the age of twelve, she shows her talent for shooting. The same day a group of boys plans to rape her. Zlatina manages to avert the rape by offering herself to the boarding house supervisor.
When she grows up and leaves the institution, her behavior abides by the conviction that one has to struggle daily for one's survival as animals do; that friendship, love, and other good things happen in soap operas only.
The life of Zlatina takes a different turn when a former inmate from the boarding house, Nayden, now an instructor at a shooting gallery, is so impressed by her talent for shooting that he takes her under his guardianship. He trains her and educates her like Pygmalion. And falls in love with her.
However, Zlatina is suspicious of his selflessness and fears the inequality of their relationship. A criminal accident confirms her scares an changes her life.
