Transgression (Bulgarian: Трансгресия, translit. Transgresiya) is a 2017 Bulgarian drama film, written and directed by Val Todorov, and based on his 2016 novel Daddy Dear.[1] It stars Maria Bakalova, Rosen Penchev and Joanna-Izabella Varbanova and follows an 18-year old (Bakalova) who has a relationship with an older has-been rock musician (Penchev).[2]

Plot[]

A TV talk show hosts bait 18-year old Yana into confessing her unusual relationship with an aging rocker. This leads to a chase by a vigilante group of hunters and other complications.[3]

Its nonlinear narrative follows Yana's memories: wild parties, a motorcycle rally, threesome with her best girlfriend, beach-side bonfires, a crypto-gay machista's birthday, a cheap tattoo shop, a posh spa hotel, wine testing, pot smoking and transgressive sex.[4]
