A PROVINCIAL HOSPITAL is an observational documentary following the everyday life of Dr. Popov and his colleagues at a Covid ward in a provincial hospital in Bulgaria. As they fight for each patient’s survival, in the most unexpected of moments, light and humor shines through.
Filmmakers lead us through the universe of our „condition humaine“, to the frontier between life and death without losing a good humor. A new documentary by Sofia’s Last Ambulance director Ilian Metev (he co-directed it), won Ecumenical Award at Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
