NEON FAIRY TALES
Неонови приказки
Synopsis
The Central Railway Station in Sofia and its permanent guests — the homeless, beggars, prostitutes, and Roma children. Seven of the night dwellers of the underground passageways tell different fairy-tale or tragic stories about themselves, yet none of them complains about their way of life. In the documentary film “Neon Fairy Tales”, the parents of the little Roma children do not drive them into the forest, as in the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel,” but send them to the train station to get rid of them, because they cannot support them. Thus begins the difficult path of survival for homeless children. An inexhaustible source of “resources” are trash bins, sleeping near the warm pipes in the underground tunnels, a small bag of acetone glue, as well as the kindness of merciful people…
