PRIDE
After TRAINS (17 min, 2011) and THE PARAFFIN PRINCE (23 min, 2012) PRIDE (29:59 min, 2013) completes the short film trilogy by Pavel Vesnakov. The trilogy explores the lack of authentic dialogue between different generations in contemporary bulgarian society.
LOGLINE
A man of habit confronts a world in transition in his own kitchen:
MANOL (65) – a retired general, a loving grandfather – is a patriarch of firm morals and fixed beliefs, which he has upheld in his household. But on this day he learns that the boy he raised is gay. The life choices that his loved ones made challenge Manol’s values in a battle he has lost by default.
