Sinekatalog’s take

Ralitza Petrova's drama follows a Bulgarian care nurse who sells the identity papers of her elderly patients to fund her addiction, until a death and a young student change things. Irena Ivanova is remarkable in a grim, haunting and moving film that won the Golden Leopard.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
