The executioner
In a small village in post-liberation Bulgaria, during a time when public executions were a grim spectacle, the always cheerful executioner Bogomil finds himself entangled in a web of passion and betrayal. Despite his sunny disposition and love for life, he falls for the married Maria and, in a twist of fate, risks everything to save her husband from the gallows.
