After twenty-five years spent in France, I return to Bulgaria, camera in hand, with a vertiginous suspicion: what if my family had collaborated with the political police of the communist regime? And what if they were part of the « red trash » that the demonstrators on the street want to see disappear? I decide to investigate and to film, constantly, ready for anything. My adventure turns into a tragic comic odyssey, a mix of an espionage and a home movie.
