Plot
While the Italian military intelligence service SISMI is on the trail of two traitors – Natalino Franchi (Cesare Bocci) and Luigi Rampelli (Denis Campitelli) – who are selling classified information to the Bulgarian secret services and the KGB, three friends from the small town of Cesena – Pago (Matteo Gatta), Riche (Lodo Guenzi), and Bibi (Jacopo Costantini) – decide to embark on a new journey.
After their last adventure, which took them to communist Romania, life seems to have finally returned to normal. But without realizing it, Bibi draws his friends into another unexpected escapade – one that will soon change their lives. This time, fate takes them to Sofia, where Bibi’s mysterious pen pal Yulia (Aleksandra Vale) lives. Over the past six months, the two have exchanged letters, and Bibi has fallen in love with her.
What begins as a romantic adventure quickly spirals into a whirlwind of unexpected situations. In Sofia, the friends find themselves face to face with Ivan (Zahary Baharov), the ruthless boss of the Bulgarian underworld, and become entangled in a mission to rescue a young girl, international espionage schemes, and a series of comical misunderstandings that turn them into “accidental spies.”
With its light-hearted humor, fast pace, and colorful characters, “BULGARIA AMORE MIO” is a comedy about friendship and adventure that promises to take audiences on a fun-filled journey between Italy and Bulgaria.
In addition to the main cast, the film also features Bulgarian actors Ekaterina Lazarevska, Plamena Getova, Konstantin Trendafilov, Bogdan Kazandzhiev, as well as Italian actors Caterina Gabenlla, Denis Campitelli, Peirpaolo de Mejo, and Francesco Bertozi.
