The title in English is "The World Is Big and Salvation Lurks Around the Corner." Friend of mine saw this at a festival and recommended it to me. Anyone know anything more?


QuoteBackgammon is used as both a plot device and a metaphor, refocusing Sashko's mind and emblematic of honesty and correctitude: "We don't play for money, only for honor." Komandarev isn't heavy-handed with his symbolism, using the game as much for the sense of community it fosters as for any lessons it imparts.
