We are pleased to inform you that on September 24 at the Bulgarian festival the premiere of the filmby Zornitsa Sophia «Mother» with Leon Lucev in one of the main roles was successfully held. An amazing and deep film, in which once again Leon shows his multifaceted talent, an actor with great amplitude and depth in self-expression.
The film tells the story of Elena, who an inspired theatre director, finds out at the age of 32 that she cannot conceive in a natural way. Trying therapies to get pregnant and failing to convince her husband, the famous foreign conductor Leon Maier, 50, to stay with her in Bulgaria and to keep trying, Elena develops a life-transforming theatre programme for orphans. The moment Leon is finally up to the idea to start in vitro, Elena is invited to adapt her method for orphans in Kenya. Elena faces a choice between her dream of having a child of her own and helping hundreds of orphans to start dreaming. Finding her own way, Elena will redefine the word “mother”. The story was inspired by the true account of a character in Zornitsa Sophia’s documentary Modus Vivendi (2007), which followed people who stopped at nothing to turn their dreams into reality.
The film will also be presented at the main European festivals.
So we wish Leon and the team to collect as many awards as possible and delight the audience with such high-quality projects in the future
