In two consecutive days, four of the highest-grossing Bulgarian titles of recent months will be broadcast:
Uncle Christmas – In the avalanche of comic situations, each of the characters is looking for what he craves the most – family, identity, forgiveness, love, compassion, friendship. There is no way their wishes will not come true, as long as they believe in Uncle Christmas.
Return 2 – The main character of the first part of the film is now beginning to lead an environmentally friendly lifestyle and care for the good future of people and nature. It is innovation that is the way in which this can be achieved most sustainably and effectively.
Yellow Oleander – The perfect plan of a dubious Bulgarian politician for a high post in Brussels, is related to his beautiful young wife, former Italian prime minister and a secret meeting that must decide everything.

The new shopping centre Veliko Tarnovo will include a 3-story complex with an underground parking and a big cinema.
The owner of the cultural complex “Poltava” Velichko Minev is currently clearing some of the dangerous elements of the facade, where the cinema had been up until years ago, waiting to get the proper construction permit to completely rebuild Poltava. According to Minev the work that needs to be done will take around a year or so. He has plans to build an underground parking on 3 or even 4 levels if the terrain allows. As anyone living in Tarnovo knows parking in this town is extremely hard so a new parking will definitely come in handy. Besides an underground parking the complex will most likely include a cinema, as well as a few well-known retail chains.
