The film focuses on the most important processes and events in the political, economic and social life of Bulgaria after the outbreak of the WWII until the present day. A wealth of archive material has been used, as well as the most interesting moments from Trial No.1 against Todor Zhivkov, the former Head of State. The trial is a departure point for a trip back in time and an analysis of the historical processes and events that have determined Bulgaria’s destiny. What happened, why are we like that, where are we going today? Asking those questions is necessary in order to avoid history’s starting a painful replay of the past…
