Title

Once There Was a War

Taglines

Overview

Is a war big or small for someone who has lost his life in it? It's a film-trip or, as it's called today, a road movie. The road to the war is a greater ordeal than a battle… In an unprecedented march the forty-thousand strong Bulgarian Army, crossing from the southern to the western frontier of the country, covers the distance in less than two days and two nights with no roads, railway or other means of transport available… and wins the war. But this seemingly chaotic whirl of events will clearly follow the path of a young woman from the grave of her child to the death of her husband. And there will be the Cripple – a boy with his romantic urge to die for his Fatherland dying in the most important battle in life – for human dignity. There are also the bodies of two men clinging to each other in Death’s grip among the reeds in the mud. The war has made them enemies but they are more like bleeding Atlas Telamons with a peaceful sky steady on their shoulders.

Title

И была война

Taglines

Overview

Иногда путь на войну тяжелее самого сражения… В ходе беспрецедентного марш-броска 40-тысячная болгарская армия прошла от южных границ страны до западных, проделав путь менее чем за два дня и две ночи, пробираясь там, где не было ни дорог, ни рельсов, никакого другого транспорта… И выиграла войну. В этом хаосе событий ясно вырисовывается история девушки, начавшаяся со смерти её ребёнка и закончившаяся гибелью мужа. А ещё там появится Калека – мальчик с романтическим стремлением отдать жизнь за отечество, погибнуть в самом важном сражении – за человеческое достоинство. Будут там и два тела, прильнувших друг к другу в объятиях смерти посреди топи и камышей. Война сделала их врагами, но они больше напоминают Атласа и Теламона, удерживающих на своих плечах мирное небо.
