Visionaries

By Yanitsa Paramova

Visionaries is the story of two Bulgarian people of diverse backgrounds who cross paths in the 1960s, in the pretty mountain town of Zlatograd on the southern Bulgarian border. Their entangled life journeys, packed with dreams and visions, reveal a picture of life in beautiful Bulgaria under the dictatorship regime. Yakub's curiosity and ambition, joined by Magdalena's courage, beauty and loyalty, create two people who can see beyond the iron curtain. While the era is often referred to as dark and gloomy, Visionaries evokes colour and warmth through Bulgaria's traditional wealth and cultural heritage.The fiery spirit of the Bulgarian Muslims, the Christian Orthodox families' blend of rituals and customs, the uniform life in the Communist era mixed in with the darkness of secret intelligence and ethnic struggles, the colourful Bulgarian nature - all represent the ever-changing face a beautiful country.Based on true events, this is a heart-warming tale about families, love, dedication and hope, but above all, it is a tale about making visions come true.
