Synopsis

Taking place in the '80s and '90s, during Bulgaria's transition from communist rule to democracy, Party Headquarters is a love story, a parody, and a thriller about a political hoax. The main character visits his father-in-law, an old communist party boss who is dying, and is tasked with delivering a suitcase filled with 1.5 million euros. It's one of Bulgaria's most popular myths: As the communist party fell apart, high ranking officials squirreled away bags and suitcases containing the country's wealth.
