Watch VoirFilms. Sofia, November 7, 1952. A replica of the cruiser Aurora parades along the yellow cobbles – a revolutionary symbol reduced to spectacle. In the shadow of the celebrations, Maria, the daughter of an industrialist condemned by the People’s Court, survives as a prostitute in a decaying bourgeois hotel. Her lover is Axinia, an official sculptor of the regime who creates ideological monuments while living in fear.
