Widow loses her life savings to scammers and becomes a fraudster herself in a timely and powerful suspense thriller with contemporary social commentary.
Blaga, a grieving retired teacher, sells everything she owns to provide her deceased husband with a high-class burial. One day, she receives a call warning her of impending thieves and is asked to protect her savings by throwing them out of the window. Blaga complies, only to realize that she has fallen victim to a scam. In retaliation, she takes on a job as a mule and begins deceiving people for money herself. Eli Skorcheva shines in the role of the vengeful Blaga in Stephan Komandarev's compelling film about the rising cases of elder fraud, where the brutally dark intertwines with the light-hearted and humorous.
