A couple and their teenage son eke out a living on a hilltop, doing the laundry for local hotels, despite the intermittent water supply. Their simple life is overturned by the arrival of a father-and-daughter team of diviner and well-digger, who promise to bring an end to this precarious existence by finding a source on their arid hill. But ultimately, these newcomers quench a thirst far greater than than the simple need for water. (San Sebastian International Film Festival)

Very poetic, with little in the way of dialogues. But there’s no wonder about it. The Bulgarian Sahara is exactly the kind of place that would make its inhabitants taciturn. If you, however, are intrigued by the locations and quiet characters, you’re going to enjoy this. Thirst is an exemplary Bulgarian film, showing that its cinematography is at a rather high level if it can make films like this.
