  • A funny and woeful story, resembling an old Jewish anecdote, aiming to wrap a comical framework around the dark sides of life. At the time the poorest neighborhood of Plovdiv was a unique European recess – the realm of perfect ethnic harmony, reigning among Bulgarians, Armenians, Turks, Jews, gypsies and Greeks. A priest, a rabbi and a hodjah and an antichrist, nicknamed The Boozer, are smitten with the same full-bosomed Turkish woman. Along with their rivalry, squabbles and good fellowship the first play-like love between their offsprings blossoms – between a Jewish boy and an Armenian girl. The political winds of the era blow away the idyll and separate the 12-years-old lovers. Years later the Jew, now a professor, and the Armenian woman – a piano teacher – reunited.
