So Close Away

About This Movie

So Close Away is this raw drama that digs into the gritty underbelly of Bulgarian society. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid at times, which makes the tension build in a unique way. It's not just about the escape from Sofia Central Prison; it's about the clash of desires between two men, one hell-bent on revenge and the other just trying to follow his heart. The performances are solid, capturing the desperation and conflict in a way that feels very real. There’s a certain roughness to the film, a practical authenticity that resonates. You can tell it’s inspired by true events; it carries that weight, that heaviness you sometimes find in stories that hit close to home. Definitely a distinct piece in contemporary Bulgarian cinema.
