Synopsis:
A middle-aged Bulgarian is watching the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. For no apparent reason, while looking, his mind drifts back to his childhood and the little Bulgarian village in which he grew up. Different rites, different traditions and still he finds something in common. He recalls the people he knew, feared or admired. He ponders over that life of no brilliance, where people plough, harvest, marry and die, celebrate or grieve. Miracle are also worked, conceived in the unlimited imagination of a child. It is the child’s perception of the world that helps us to give meaning to the major questions of human existence.
