An almost totalitarian 4:3 format mercilessly reveals the limbo in which contemporary Bulgaria\u00a0lies: its inability to\u00a0escape a reactivated Soviet bloc, as well as to be reborn democratic and truly free. In Gana\u2019s detachment,\u00a0we see\u00a0the ruthless emotional coldness of Godless\u2019 black heroine, as depicted by Ralitza Petrova.\u00a0She is\u00a0the symbol of a\u00a0social environment which is bleak and sentimentally desolate. The winner of the 2016 Locarno Golden Leopard is a poetic, ruthless and infernal\u00a0vision;\u00a0minimal and deep in the effects it produces. Gana is just one piece of\u00a0an\u00a0evil chain, herself a victim:\u00a0her job as a carer for the old and frail\u00a0is as tough as her two-faced\u00a0personality; robbing their identity cards, which she then sells on to black market scammers. It is a mortal weakness, to feel emotions: Gana will later have to deal with her own misstep, touched by an encounter with music.<\/p>\n
