The Judgment ( Bulgarian: Съдилището) is a 2014 Bulgarian drama film directed by Stephan Komandarev. [3] [4] It was selected as the Bulgarian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards but it was not nominated. [5] [6] [7]
The film takes place in Bulgaria by the Rhodope Mountains, near the Turkish border. A widower, Mityo, needs money to forestall foreclosure on his home. He drives a milk tanker but business is slow, so he reluctantly accepts a job smuggling migrants over the border into Bulgaria. (A character in the film describes the migrants as "Gypsies, Arabs, and blacks"; many of them are presumably Refugees of the Syrian Civil War. [8]) The work reminds Mityo of his military service in the late 1980s, assigned to the Bulgarian border guard, where his task was to prevent citizens from leaving the Eastern Bloc.
