This is a film about the absurdities of communism and the romance between two young people seeking escape from Bulgaria to Italy. They attempt to flee by using a papier-mâché model of the ship Aurora. The model, designed to pass solemnly at demonstrations, is used by the young people to ‘break' through the border and enter the free world, the film crew says. The producers are Ivan Tonev and Giuseppe Lepore.
