Zaimov is opposed to the official policy of the Palace, which intends to join the WWII on the side of the Germans. Though unofficially this step is being postponed, Zaimov - who has secretly been in contact with the Russians - is detained, charged with treason and sentenced to death by a firing squad. The monarch believes the kingdom would be better off in an alliance with the Germans. The general and the king both are portrayed as sympathetic and human, each trying to do what is best for their beloved homeland. The doomed general is visited by his wife shortly before he is killed in a gripping scene. The Tsar is shown as a contradictory, intensely dramatic personality impersonating a historical absurdity. With this film one of famous Bulgarian directors Vulo Radev continues to expand the potential of the genre in which spiritual concepts such as historical optimism, love for motherland and the people are realistically translated to the screen. After "The peach tief" Radev continues breaking a number of cinema conventions with this film too. 655 4 Fiction films 260 Bulgaria : |bSIF, |c1965. 041 bul 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |990236FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_0433_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9145451FL |bFL |d2019-02-11 |l0 |oFL Record 0433 |pHU_OSA_00002191.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-02-11 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 3YR1K9X1 966 True |bHU_OSA_00002191 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
