In a post on social networks, the Ministry of Culture recalled the words of the director, who left us at the age of 78: "I don't know what the future will be, but everything I have done has been worth it, because it is flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood, it is part of my spirit. If this thing excites people and makes them think, I'm happy, too."
"We mourn the loss of great director Nikolay Volev. He left a bright mark in Bulgarian cinema with his emblematic films", the Council of Ministers wrote on their Facebook page.
