SCREENING AT RHEGED
The Tarika at the centre of this film is a teenage girl
living a peaceful rural life in Bulgaria. The family is ostracized by the
locals as they believe that Tarika (Vesela Valcheva) is cursed; like her mother
and grandmother, she has a rare bone condition known as ‘butterfly wings’. The villagers
believe that she is the cause of the deaths of their animals and that she
brings bad luck to the community.
