Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
At first this 1967 Bulgarian drama was allowed to be shown, but then the censors realized that its story could be understood as a parable about present-day circumstances in the nation at large, and it was withdrawn, only to be released again in 1989. In the story, something which possibly an unmanned dirigible or zepplin, lands near a rural village. At first dumbfounded by this amazing sight, it is not long before something resembling open warfare takes place between the villagers as they fight over how to take advantage of the opportunities this huge windfall represents.
