Valeska Grisebach tells the story of Veska, an archaeologist returning to her Bulgarian hometown of Svilengrad. She leads excavations of a medieval castle but becomes entangled with organised crime when her former colleague Said reappears. The film explores the Balkan region's layered history between past and present, particularly how smuggling evolved after socialism. Using non-professional actors, Grisebach creates a world that feels both real and fictional, depicting the passage of time and shifting gender roles with restrained irony. Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes.
