Elegia | Elegy | Movie Poster Art by Terechowicz

Elegy/Elegia/Elegiya, directed by Eduard Zahariev, is a film about the collision between father and son. The cynicism and ruined moral values of the son crush the patriarchal world of the father. Two generations live together in a decent Bulgarian family. The elderly are pensioners; the young couple manages it somehow. The father is an advocate of stable family values and the son is unfaithful to his wife. During one of the son´s exploits, a boy gets killed. Disgusted at the spiritual meanness and cynicism of his kin, the father decides to live all by himself.
