How it feels

This comedy sets the simple countryside lifestyle against the ways of city folk. It shows how silly assumptions cause conflict when two different worlds meet.

What happens

Something Out of Nothing (Bulgarian: От нищо нещо, romanized: Ot nishto neshto) is a Bulgarian comedy film released in 1979, directed by Nikola Rudarov, starring Asen Kisimov, Stefan Danailov and Aneta Sotirova. In a comical manner, the movie tells the story how the ridiculous prejudices of the people in the countryside can bring troubles just like that when two different lifestyles are faced to each other. The film perfectly shows the way of life of the typical Bulgarian family in the villages or the small towns from that time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
