"Whale"
This film had one of the most scandalous and at the same time mythological destinies in the history of Bulgarian cinema. It was filmed in 1967 but not released until 1970 when it was shown at a few small cinema halls in an edition that had been expurgated by the communist authorities.
After the liberation in 1989/90 the film was at first broadcast on the Bulgarian National Television. Naturally, it gave rise to a broad interest and took it's due place among the notable Bulgarian films of those years. Subsequently, during the 2000s, it was released on DVD.
