a| This is a film adaptation of the popular turn-of-century novel “Bai Ganyo” by the publicist Aleko Konstantinov. The main character in the novel has since long entered the national mythology and has been adopted as a designator of a host of genuinely "Bulgarian" features. Brute table manners and uncivilized public conduct, failure to differentiate between public and private, to constrain the urges of the body, lacking sense of appropriateness – through these accents the film authors build the character of Bai Ganyo. On his tour through the “high-culture” topoi of Western/Central European civility (the home of the Czeck Irecek, a former minister in Bulgaria, the Vienna opera, the coditorei and the barber shop, the restaurant and the hotel, the culture club of Bulgarian emigrees) Bay Ganyo Balkanski gives his unmediated “Balkan” response to refinement and good manners. He is apperantly unable to understand and unwilling to constrain himself into the public code, always ready to break the good tone in order to suit his immedeate interests.
