Abstract:
"A small and stubborn Bulgarian village facing the Turkish border has been resisting foreign invaders since the times of the Roman and Ottoman Empires. Now its electorate of 38 elderly Bulgarians is deciding on future of Europe. For centuries, the village has been called the 'Great Gate' because of its strategic location as one of Europe's first gateways from Turkey. Its bewildered inhabitants find themselves in the middle of an international crisis, with asylum seekers, sometimes desperate families, passing through at night, causing fear, unrest, and pity, in the case of an elderly lady who helps the wounded and hungry. Once again the sleepy, forgotten village has become the most important secret loophole of Europe. Postman Ivan has a new political vision. He decides to run for mayor to bring the dying village back to life by welcoming refugees. His opponents want to either close their eyes or close the border and reintroducing communism. Busy on the campaign trail while delivering the mail, Ivan soon learns that while good intentions are not enough, even the smallest deeds matter."-- The Good Postman Facebook Website, viewed January 25, 2018.
