Орлов мост

In the freezing winter evenings of the 2013 protests at Eagles' Bridge in Sofia, people gather again and again, furious and hopeful that the political class, the monopolies and the oligarchs who plundered the country during the long transition can be swept away. Among the protest leaders are Yulia, known to her followers as the Teacher, who has left her husband, finds support in her small gallery and her daughter Viktoria, and truly believes in the cause; and Pavel Premyanov, a lawyer who made a fortune but lost himself, a cynic trying to steer the people's anger his own way while saving a life on the brink of collapse. Slowly they move towards each other in a fierce, tender and wounding love, until Pavel reveals his darkest secret.
