What happens

Farsighted for Two Diopters (Bulgarian: Два Диоптъра Далекогледство / Dva Dioptara Dalekogledstvo) is a 1976 Bulgarian comedy film directed by Petar B. Vasilev and written by Mormarevi Brothers. The film stars Georgi Partsalev, Dimitar Panov, Sashka Bratanova, Ivan Obretenov and Valentin Gadzhokov. The film represents the clash between the generations in the person of the conservative father Dimo Manchev (Partsalev) and his daughter (Bratanova). The accurate examining of real problems are presented spiced with a lot of humour in the typical of Mormarevi plain language and a touch of nostalgia. It is known that the character of Dimo Manchev was specially written and designed for Partsalev. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
