Anton is almost 33 when he is offered the chance to appear at a job interview. Even at the first stage of the test, he begins to doubt whether this place is really his, given the demands on his personality that will follow if he gets the job. But he is motivated by the challenge and continues to the second round, conducted by a provocative lady whose questions probe the most intimate corners of his soul. Yet again, he is prompted to stay. The third level is an excruciating ordeal… the test for a job, a test of morality, of being human…

Hristo Shopov graduated in 1987 from the Krastyo Sarafov National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts in Sofia, in the class of Elka Mihailova; for the next 10 years, he was an actor in the Sofia Drama Theatre troupe before going freelance. Over the past seven years, he has been working in theatre, appearing in the following plays: Man from Earth; Same Time Next Year; Same Time Each Year; and All or Nothing.
