Nina

Director Hristo Simeonov / 2019 / Bulgaria

In this multi-award-winning drama, a child pickpocket dreams of a better life.

Overflowing with pathos and steely social-realist resolve, Nina centres on a child whose life is defined by stealing and succumbing to her carer-cum-boss, who seizes everything she procures – until she’s faced with an opportunity to break the cycle. Never shying away from the complexity of its title character’s moral conundrum, the film is a beautiful and devastating exploration of power, poverty, trust and loyalty.
