The Eighth

The Eighth tells the story of Bulgarian antifascists during World War II. The narrative follows a group transported by plane from the USSR to Bulgaria, where they face internal treachery and external threats. The eighth paratrooper leads a guerrilla group that grapples with the suspicion of a traitor among them.

As the plot unfolds, an innocent member is wrongly accused before the true traitor is identified and dealt with. The film emphasizes the struggle between the guerrillas and the colonel and troops from a nearby village, culminating in a decisive battle. This portrayal of resistance and anti-fascism offers a compelling look at a lesser-known aspect of wartime history.

For collectors, The Eighth is available in DVD format, providing an opportunity to own a piece of Bulgarian cinema that highlights important historical themes. Its action and drama elements make it an intriguing addition to any film collection focused on war narratives and anti-fascism.
