Children of the Silent Revolution

Bulgaria, 1995. A group of classmates are graduating from high school. They are exuberant on their prom night. They believe in their dreams like only 18-year-olds who have witnessed the fall of communism and know the value of freedom do. But their country is still in turmoil, which will continue for the next 20 years. In 2013, Bulgaria reaches a low point, when 18 people set themselves on fire and mass protests rock the nation for months. What has happened with the friends? Were they able to realize their dreams? Children of the Silent Revolution is a unique journey into the lives of these classmates, following their paths over a period of two decades. As one of the circle of friends, the filmmaker also shares her personal story and quest for happiness during the past 20 years.
