In Bulgarian with English subtitles • Dr. Georgi Lulchev is a psychiatrist, neurologist, administrator, amateur chef, indefatigable entrepreneur and the director of a home for psychologically challenged men. Housed in an abandoned monastery among rolling hills outside Sofia, the home belies its desperate situation and the country's immense poverty. Yet the persistent Dr. Georgi dreams of organizing a farm in the yard where patients can raise snails, ostriches and pheasants and produce silk and soy bread. A charming commentary on post–Cold War capitalism in Bulgaria. — P. Moore
