including the Cannes Film Festival. The film follows the story of unemployed construction worker Martin Zdravkov Levidzhov from the Northern Bulgarian town of Svishtov and his struggle to have his name legally changed to that of his favourite football club Manchester United. The story does not concentrate on the fan or sports aspects of the story, but aims at showcasing the contemporary life in remote Bulgarian towns where people are disillusioned with economic woes and do everything possible to escape from the surrounding dire reality. The film raises questions about identity and the dream of being someone else.
