One of the great Bulgarian comedies, blending humor with biting social critique. The film follows Purko, played brilliantly by Todor Kolev, a poor man who trades his modest life for one day of living like a wealthy man. What begins as a comic fantasy quickly turns into a bittersweet tale about illusions, inequality, and the emptiness of material dreams. Kolev's performance stands out-his mix of naivety, humor, and quiet despair makes the character both funny and deeply human. The film's satire captures the contradictions of Bulgarian society in the 1920s, hiding sharp commentary behind laughter. Its humor is absurd and ironic, but its message is universal: status and wealth rarely bring real happiness. By the end, we're left with both laughter and sadness, making the film a timeless tragicomedy.
