Courtesy of Cercamon Cercamon has picked up sales agency duties on tragicomedy “Black Money for White Nights,” which has its world premiere at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Crystal Globe Competition.
The Bulgaria-Greece co-production is directed by Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov, and written by Grozeva, Valchanov and Decho Taralezhkov.
Marina, 65, a maternity nurse, and her husband Gosha, 68, a railway dispatcher, have spent years collecting small bribes to afford their dream trip to St. Petersburg for the White Nights Festival. When Russia invades Ukraine and the travel agency vanishes with their savings, their dream — and the illusion of control — collapses. As Gosha ends up in hospital, beaten while trying to recover the money, long-buried betrayals surface, forcing the couple to confront the lies their life was built on.
