In the early 1950s a Bulgarian journalist, under the wing of State Security, is admitted to deeply classified archives on what happened in Bulgaria in the 1920s, one of the murkiest and most distorted periods of the country's history. Uncovering the documentary truth leads him to unexpected meetings with figures from the past, and to the question of what becomes of those who know the truth. In a world run from behind the scenes, where the long arm of the Soviet secret services deals the cards of Bulgarian public life both before and after 9 September 1944, those who keep their dignity are doomed, while opportunists write history.
