Stephen Komandariv is the most anticipated young director in Bulgaria today. In addition to his multiple identities as producer, director and screenwriter, he is also a new Bulgarian director. A well-known teacher at the university, he has inspired countless students to join the Bulgarian film industry. The first feature film "Dog's Home" by Steven Komandariv was selected for the Berlin Film Festival International New Film Forum, becoming a highly anticipated new director in Bulgaria. Since then, he has successively won awards such as the Leipzig International Documentary and Animation Film Festival in Germany and the Bulgarian Documentary Film Festival with short documentaries such as "Bread Over The Fence" and "Alphabet Of Hope", becoming a veritable all-round director.
The film tells the story of Alexander, played by Carlo Lyubek, who lives in Germany and loses his memory due to a serious car accident. A man who claimed to be his grandfather suddenly appeared, gave him an old photo and a pair of backgammon, and wanted to take him home. Although Alexander was very unfamiliar with Bai Dan, he was amazed when he told all about his childhood. In order to recall his memory and explore his past, Alexander decided to follow Baidan and embark on a journey home... As the journey drew closer to the end, the memories Alexander had forgotten became more and more vivid. However, when the two arrived in Italy, Bai Dan disappeared without a trace the next day, leaving only one sentence: Alexander should rely on himself and find his way home! Can Alexander live up to Bai Dan's expectations and find his way home? And is Bai Dan really his grandfather? How will everyone and everything that he encounters during this journey affect him? When the memories of the past emerge one by one, can Alexander really succeed in casting the miracle of his destiny as Bai Dan said?
