1981, Bulgaria, documentary

To the engineers, architects and the builders everything is OK and each of them had done his job well, nothing is missed. But the result is terrible for the inhabitants – the rain is falling inside the flats, pipes are leaking everywhere, the basements are flooded in water in this new highrise building in Mladost, Sofia. “A poem for the cockroaches” is a great look inside and in the moment, when the failure of a large housing project is exposed – with less or more harsh irony and with bitter-funny moment we see the tons of flaws of the central planning system and the dispersed responsibility.
