Synopsis:

City of Dreams reveals the two faces of one Bulgarian town: the socialism of yesterdays and the pop folk music of today. Built in the 1950s as the symbol of the socialist system and the bright future, Dimitrovgrad has turned into a symbol of the capitalist dream and pop folk. The wind of change swept the older idols only to reinstate new ones. The film is a merciless dissection of the transition period after 1989 told from the point of view of several ordinary families from the town of Dimitrovgrad in southern Bulgaria. 20 years after the onset of democratic changes past and present, nostalgia and luxury coexist in two parallel worlds – in the Club of the Brigadier Movement Participants and the pop folk club.
