The Bulgarian selection for the International Film category at the 97th Academy Awards was completely unanimous.

The cast includes Maria Bakalova - the first Bulgarian to be nominated for an Oscar (in the category of best supporting actress for the film Borat 2), Margita Gosheva, Julian Vergov, Julian Kostov, Stanislav Ganchev and Ivan Savov. The cinematographer is Krum Rodríguez, and the music is by Teodor Iconomu.
