I love this movie.It's brilliant. It shows very well that period of time in Bulgaria and how life went through for the students of the English High School. My mother went to school there during the late 60ies early 70ies and many of the stories she told me, are quite similar to the story line of the movie. I think the characters are very well developed. Great Story line...great music, and the perfect ending. I really like this movie. It's one of my favorites!! I highly recommend seeing it...though there are some imperfections and some funny acting(the teacher that is English, w/ a very strong Bulgarian accent and so forth)...but as a whole I think it's definitely worth watching if you get the chance. I wish I could find it with English subtitles. So far I haven't been able to...anyway..I just wish I could play it for my college friends.
