One of the most highly acclaimed of Bulgarian films, both at home and abroad, The Peach Thief is adapted from a novel by Emilian Stanev. “In the last months of World World I an aging Bulgarian officer presides over a peach orchard, a beautiful young wife, and a camp full of Serbian and French soldiers. Ivo, a young Serbian officer, comes to steal the peaches and stays to steal the wife, Lisa. Their love is pursued amidst the gradual collapse of order that fell on the Central Powers at the war's end.... Love can conquer the traditional allegiances of society, but it cannot surmount the essential divisions of the property system.” Dr. John Mosier, Audio Brandon Films
