Ombre is a Balkan western, or actually an ''eastern'' as the cast and crew often refer to it.
Based on the novel by Emil Tonev, the plot revolves around a modern-day interpretation of legendary productions like Once Upon a Time in the West (1968).
''The story will always be interesting, combining the western and the ''eastern'' so to say,'' said actor Valeri Yordanov.
