Vasil has just lost his long-time partner in life, his wife Valentina. When a woman at her funeral proclaims that the dead woman called her cell phone, Vasil seeks out the help of a well-known psychic in order to contact his wife. His son Pavel tries to bring him to his senses, but Vasil stubbornly insists on doing things his own way. "The Father" is an intimate family drama about the difficulties of connecting with those close to us. As the picture slowly gathers momentum, its story unfolds many carefully arranged absurd or comic situations.
"What an unexpected, sensitive and very funny drama 'Bashtata' is, one of the most interesting examples of contemporary Bulgarian cinema. Here, directors Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov follow the grieving journey of a man who has just lost his long-time wife. However, instead of suffering in silence to cope with the loss, he ends up believing the story of an acquaintance that the dead woman called his cell phone. From there, the son of this sad and tormented man begins to fight to bring him back to reason, in a story full of ups and downs and even a handful of surprising moments that put the viewer on the edge of their emotions. To laugh, cry, have fun and dive into grief in a very different way."
