The old man lives with his son, his daughter-in-law and his grandson but they can hardly agree about anything. The old man worries that that his grandson is headed for a life of crime and the boy's mother admits that her maternal feelings for him are dead. The son's husbandly instincts are also cool; he needs porno videos to get aroused. And his efforts to succeed in business meet with indifference from his father. The old man goes off to live in an old age home but there, too, he can't get along. He runs away and meets up with two friends from his past with a harebrained scheme to rob a bank. The old man winds up on the streets of Sofia where everything is in decay. Gangsters thrive, the poor are forced to root through garbage cans for food and Asian refugees are treated like animals. Then, like in a fairy tale, the old man stumbles across a suitcase full of money... "Eduard Zahariev, one of Bulgaria's most prominent filmmakers, died (last year) after completing the editing (of BELATED FULL MOON)... a fairly bleak look at the state of his nation in the mid-'90s via the microcosm of an old man, his son and his grandson... It's a solid memorial to a director whose sharp sense of social conscience was always leavened by a winning sense of humour." -- David Stratton (Variety)
