Bulgarian Film "Aga" Wins Prestigious Award at a Film Festival in Iran

The Bulgarian film "Aga" by director Milko Lazarov won the Best Film Award at a Film Festival in Iran. Aga was selected as the winner in the category of 29 titles. This is another success for Milko Lazarov's film.

“Aga” closed the main contest of Berlinale. In Bulgaria in March, the film opened the 22nd Sofia Film Fest.

Aga is co-produced with the Bulgarian National Television.

The film tells a story about older Inuit couple, Nanook and Sedna, who are the last members of their ethnic group living on the ice. They dream to reunite with their daughter Ága, who has left the slowly eroding, traditional way of life a long time ago.

In a yurt on the snow-covered fields of the North, Nanook and Sedna live following the traditions of their ancestors.

Nanook and Sedna's traditional way of life starts changing slowly, but inevitably. Hunting becomes more and more difficult, the animals around them die from unexpected deaths and the ice has been melting earlier every year.

Chena, who visits them regularly, is their only connection to the outside world – and to their daughter Ága, who has left the icy tundra long time ago due to family feud. Ága works at a diamond mine at a distant town. Some time ago, she did something that Nanook found unforgivable, and they’ve been estranged ever since. Sedna speaks to her husband of forgiveness, and she’s even making a new hat for her daughter out of Arctic fox fur, but time is shorter than anyone imagines.

When Sedna's health deteriorates, Nanook decides to fulfil her wish and embarks on a long journey to find Ága.
