, a co-production between Bulgaria, Germany and France, won the Best Film Award. Presented out of competition at the 2018 Berlinale, Aga is a story of both elderly love and a dying way of life. The screenplay, written by Lazarov together with Simeon Ventsislalov, explores the wild, frigid North, where husband Nanook (Mikhail Aprosimov) and wife Sedna (Feodosia Ivanova) live on the permafrost. It is an arduous life, and it becomes harder as we soon find out that game and fish are increasingly hard to come by. The couple also talk about an unpardonable deed by their daughter Ága (Galina Tikhonova), who is now working in a diamond mine.
