LIFE IS SCARY, YET SO BEAUTIFUL

Free screening of the new Bulgarian documentary film in the hall of the Bulgarian Church of St. Ivan Rilski

Love that has survived prejudice and dogma, political upheavals and personal intrigues, physical separation and professional ambitions. The film tells the story of Penka Kasabova, the woman in the shadows who shaped the world-renowned opera star Boris Christoff. A self-sacrificing love that makes even a terrifying life beautiful.
