Kamen Kalev : 2011
The Island
Sophie and Daneel, both in their early thirties, are a close and passionate couple living in Paris. Sophie initiates a surprise journey to Bulgaria. Daneel explicitly refuses to go, but Sophie insists and finally convinces him to leave. When they arrive, Sophie discovers, to her astonishment, that Daneel was born there. After a few hours spent on the crowded beaches, Daneel leads Sophie to an almost abandoned island lost in the Black Sea. Once there, Daneel discovers pregnancy tests in Sophie's luggage. The heat and the strange few inhabitants soon alter their own behaviours, and the island slowly reveals hidden fears that question their love. To get through it all, they have to take a leap into the unknown. A challenging and provocative character study examining themes of interpersonal relations and self-discovery. Kamen Kalev's introspective and dream-like second feature premiered at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs 2011 at Cannes.
