A small and stubborn Bulgarian village facing the Turkish border has been resisting foreign invaders since the times of the Roman and Ottoman Empires. Now its electorate of 38 elderly Bulgarians is deciding on future of Europe. The Great Gate, as the village has been called for centuries because of its location on the doorsteps of the former Ottoman Empire, has found itself in the middle of European crisis, as at night asylum seekers sneak across the border causing fear and unrest. Once again the sleepy and forgotten village has become the most important secret loophole of Europe. Postman Ivan has a new political vision. He decides to run for mayor to bring the dying village to life by welcoming refugees. His opponents want either to close their eyes or close down the border and reintroduce communism. Busy on the campaign trail while delivering the mail, Ivan soon learns that while good intentions are not enough, even the smallest deeds matter.

| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonHristov stands back and silently observes as the election campaign plays out, showing rather than telling, how much economic circumstances can drive both word and deed. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA documentary that exposes bigotry, fear, and anger as toxic forces in a dying village in Bulgaria. |
| Maven's NestNora Lee MandelMicrocosm of Eastern European impacts and debates...Where Ivan sees refugees...pointing to positive development, others complain...and hopeful vibes depressingly dissipate. |
| Gay City NewsSteve Erickson... formally impressive, framing the village in long shots containing both natural beauty and decrepit buildings. |
| User ReviewMichal Marek NIt feels like a day spent in Golyam Dervent. Not only was the storytelling and filmmaking superb, but the story of Ivan and his village was an important one to see. A true hidden gem. |
