He is well educated, charming, and gallant - a dream for each lonely lady. In reality he is a skillful swindler, who robs naive women. Cheating merchants with guilty consciences are his targets as well. This is the elusive protagonist of the movie. He constantly changes his name, stages his own death, and travels from town to town. His exploits are myriad and his life is an endless adventure. Yet, he remains an amiable swindler, an unrealized actor, whose only goal is make his life more interesting.

BNTThe film follows the adventures of a short, bald, smooth-talking womanizer—a con artist whose power lies entirely in language, gesture, and confidence. Todor Kolev’s delivery is astonishing. His fancy words, expressions, and rhythms create a character who is absurd, seductive, and deeply revealing. When Georgi Rusev joins him in the second half, every second becomes top-tier humor. This is not just comedy—it is a masterclass in performance.
