We shall do our best to present the film wherever we can,” he said.
“To be successful at the Academy Awards you have to have a very good film, but also lots of money for a campaign – money for American publicists and for streaming platforms.

The film touches audiences because the stories about the Bulgarian pensioners are understandable wherever you may be. These are things that are not just Bulgarian, they can happen anywhere, Stephan Komandarev said.
