"Battle for Sevastopol" will be shown on TV channel "Ukraina" and "The Sniffer" will be released on BNT

May 9 "Ukraine" will air an extended 4-episode version of the film about the most efficient female sniper of World War II Lyudmila Pavlichenko - "Battle for Sevastopol".

The war catches a young student Lyudmila Pavlichenko off-guard in Odessa. She volunteers in the army and is moved to the front line after a brief stint in the sniper school. Her natural marksmanship and ability to keep calm under duress make her a true sharpshooter. Her personal hitlist is over 309 names long. But Lyudmila is severely shot, and her lover is killed in one of the battles. The girl barely manages to leave Sevastopol and is sent to USA as part of the government mission. In the White House, she is introduced to Eleanor Roosevelt, and her speech to the press makes her a household name in the states. “Gentlemen, you’ve been hiding behind my back for way too long” — two month after her famous speech, the Allies open the Second Front.

So when one of the twins, Petya, escapes from the camp, the Germans raise an alarm, trying to find the runaway. The life of the entire village turns to hell: partisans need to consider their hide-outs with extreme prudence, locals are suffering from inspections and local police are doing their best to find the escapee.

On Sunday, May 10, the first season of The Sniffer will premiere on Bulgarian TV channel BNT at 20:10. Main character is a proud owner of an extraordinarily acute sense of smell. He can detect things about you that you desperately want to conceal. He'll find that needle in the haystack. Don't ever doubt his extraordinary skills! But the truth is that his sense of smell is as much a curse as it is a gift. This guy can solve a mystery by having a single sniff around but what happens when all these myriads of smells force their way into his private life? Let’s just put it this way – he’s not exactly a happy camper.
