Drama

The film is a bitter parable about the slow maturing of the idea of freedom - both collective and personal. The characters's deaths are absurd, with no pathos.The film is a bitter parable about the slow maturing of the idea of freedom - both collective and personal.

Spiritual trends of the time

This is one of the first innovative films, which signaled the close of the period of schematic characterization in Bulgarian cinema.

There was a special decree of Central Committee of Bulgarian Communist Party against the film. Some of the spiritual trends of the time - anarchism, idealism, sectarian narrow-mindedness, humanism and violence - are portrayed by richly poetic means. The interior monologue, providing a link with the present, the lyricism of the visual style and the wealth of the score help reveal the personal motifs of the characters, which lead them to their tragic self-sacrifice.
