Director Ivaylo Penchev

Everybody is hopping on a plane, bus, train or car and heading for a seaside vacation! Not all of them, actually, because two of the main characters live there and own a small family hotel. Todor, an ex-waiter, is Bulgarian and his wife Totka, an ex-athlete, is Russian. Their first guests are two older women, Veska and Stefka, who are friends despite having completely different views on life. Next arrives the well-off and seemingly happy family of Anton and Lilly with a little girl called Maya. Charming Ani and her boyfriend Niky, a hopeless dreamer, occupy one more room. The couple seems to be in love, at least at the outset of the story. There is also a man called Mladen, a clandestine lover of the married Lilly.

HOLIDAY MAKERS

A seaside hotel brings together a group of accidental holiday makers looking forward to a crazy summer. The comic situations fraught with dangers and traps convince us that happiness is within relationships we enter with the closest of people and is not buried in the sand on the beach.
