They have never studied the art of filmmaking. Nevertheless, they are some of the most popular figures of Bulgarian cinema. They are tightly connected to its history. The audiences love them. None of their films contains hidden, though elementary truth. All truth is shown close-up. They had been friends from before they started working together. They are the magnificent three, as if taken from classics: sometimes the three musketeers, sometimes three men in a boat, sometimes three men on the bummel, but mostly, they are three men contra mundum. Jackie Stoev, Johnny Penkov and Charlie Iliev take you for a carousel ride in the fun-fair of their life, where attractions include more past than future, old and new stories, film bits and cuts, anecdotes and a lot of tommy rot, scattered over two centuries and two regimes. At the end one is convinced: if the price of freedom is to look like an idiot, it is not that high.
