    Absolute must see - New Bulgarian cinema

    This film really touched me. I was impressed with the script and the way the story unfolds. The characters are fascinating and so well written, that you cannot help but follow their every move. Without revealing too much, this is a story of the human spirit. It makes you think about your own life and the choices you make. The cast is superb. You can tell the director had a very clear vison and a message they wanted to put across. Watch it!

    If you have a taste for the unusual, I highly recommend!

    This is story about humanity (and inhumanity), trust and hope. A wonderful amalgamation of sumptuous camerawork, composed direction & excellent lead performance. I appreciate that this probably isn't to everyone's taste - but I really enjoyed it.

    I think people who are criticizing this film, weren't listening to several key hints. I thought it was a delight :)

    A modern expression of Dante's Divine Comedy

    If you consider yourself a fan of Divine Comedy and want to experience Inferno, Purgatory and Heaven you are at the right place!

    The movie depicts the story of a man, named Dante, who goes through an existential crisis (Inferno), after that he searches for solutions for the difficulties in his life (Purgatory) and in the very end he implements the knowledge he gathered while walking down his own path of subjective justice (Heaven). Did he reach his Heaven? Or maybe he is constantly ruminating through the circles of the Inferno? The viewers decide for themselves!

    Both the characters and the situations in the movie are quite realistic. It is almost like a modern interpretation of Dante's Divine Comedy and this clearly shows that the concepts of Inferno, Purgatory and Heaven are absolutely independent of space and time!

    Prepare for a deep, dark trip through the labyrinths of the human soul! Worth watching! Enjoy!

    A movie about... turning your trauma into a masterpiece

    It's been a long time since I've seen such a meaningful Bulgarian movie... I liked the story, I liked the way it was told, I liked the message.

    The dynamics were deeply realistic, translating the bodily senses through an engaging journey of genuine empathy for each of the characters.

    And the ending... tells the whole theology in just one sentence...

    It would have been an omission if I had passed over that title.
