The Scent of Linden

Directed by Sissy Denkova

Stefan moves into the Bulgarian enclave in Tennessee, where comical rivalries, suspicions, and hijinks conspire to come between him and his dream.

Stefan arrives in Memphis and moves in with Dima and Georgi, whose house is a hotel for immigrants. They sway Stefan to stay in town, although Chicago is a distant dream. He meets Rada. A fight breaks out and he must leave. He appreciates more of his community and returns on the Day of Atonement. They remain stronger together, than apart.
