The film depicts a perfectly believable story - the ignorant, but good Yono, who is well portrayed by Ivan Barnev, who is a seething nationalist with a hatred for foreigners, who though in the end realizes his mistake and falls in love with the American woman Emma. The story is told by the Goat, who has been sent by the ancient Thracian gods to protect an ancient treasure - an it's mission is successful. A good film with both comic and serious moments.

I'm sure the above commentary ("dull") was written by one of Lyuba Kulezic's goons (Lyuba Kulezic is a Bulgarian journalist who widely criticized the film). It's sad that such people exist in this country and try to destroy somebody's reputation in such a typical Balkan way - a stab in the back. The film is not dull - in Plovdiv it won the Viewer's Prize. I don't think that everyone in Plovdiv would be such a moron to give a "dull" film a prize. The film was full of wit, charm and when I watched it the audience (me included) was splitting it's sides with laughter. To all critics who say that the film's budget was not used properly - all I can say is that to film on an archaeological site, such as Perperikon, there is a "rent" - every day of filming is expensive. And anyway, unlike the other modern Bulgarian films this one actually had a message - it showed the negative sides of the Bulgarian people, which so strongly show in the film's enemies. I hope that the gods strike them down. And, whoever wrote it has ABOMINABLE English!
