The Rebel of L.

On the night of graduation prom the credit to the English Language School, Loris tries to escape to the West, but he is betrayed and captured. Charged with political motivation, Loris is sentenced. The year is 1986. The slogan written in red letters onto the wall in the prison is: If you don't know - we will teach you, if you can't - we will show you how, if you don't want to - we will force you. It is put into practice. Torture, cynicism and physical violence turn the talented young man into an impassive and coldblooded observer. The Berlin wall is falling. Loris is granted an amnesty. Already free, he is alienated and indifferent to the world. In his desperate escape from reality Loris revenges for his ruined life and takes the road to his own destruction. But he meets love. Loris tries to find salvation in yet another flight...

Directed by Kiran Kolarov, The Rebel of L. leans on a strong ensemble — Deyan Slavchev, Fani Kolarova, Dicho Hristov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2006.
