A synopsis for "Zift,"...

Shortly before the Bulgarian Communist coup of 1944, the Moth was thrown into jail under a false conviction for murder. Finally freed from the confines of his unjust prison sentence, he finds himself in a strange and intimidating new place--totalitarian Sofia of the sixties. Released on parole after serving some hard time in prison, the Moth's one-night odyssey quickly gets underway, as he runs into trouble and falls afoul of the Communist state. Starting with a qualified measure of optimism, his first night of freedom is swiftly plagued by looming threats and impending doom (Internet).

Director: Javor Gardev.

Writer: Vladislav Todorov.

Cast: Zahary Baharov, Tanya Llieva, Vladimir Peney, Dimo Alexiev, and Tzvetan Alexiev.
