Blaga's Lessons - ENFF

A teacher falls victim to a phone scam that robs her of her life savings. The tables turn as cash begins rolling in as she transforms into a scammer herself.

Blaga is a 70-year-old retired teacher who recently lost her husband. A woman of firm morals, her moral compass slowly begins to lose its bearings after phone scammers con her out of the money she had saved for her husband’s grave. "Blaga’s Lessons" is an evocative drama by acclaimed Bulgarian director Stephan Komandarev, which closes his trilogy depicting the bleak social situation in post-communist Bulgaria. The first film of the trilogy, "Directions" (2017), premiered at Cannes and narrated the lives of taxi drivers. In "Rounds" (2019), Komandarev followed policemen throughout one night in Bulgaria’s capital. The final part of the trilogy is set in a small Bulgarian town, where he focuses his lens on the lives of today’s senior citizens—a vulnerable group to whom politicians often promise a dignified life, while the reality is much different. "Blaga’s Lessons" won the Crystal Globe for Best Film at the Karlovy Vary IFF and was selected as Bulgaria’s entry for the Oscars.
