Sezonat na kanarchetata Any Bulgarian on this board

In 1993 Bulgaria released the movie “Sezonat na kanarchetata”, which means “The Season of the Canaries”. Around the same time a rather large series of movies produced in many European countries was wandering around Europe. The common name of the series was “Movies After the Fall of the Wall”.
[Later addition: I have just checked that the series reached Sweden in 1999.]

When it was shown in Sweden it was given the name “Canaries”. This may well have been the common international name.

However, I think that this is a very poor name. There are four main persons. But who among them is or are supposed to be these canaries. Read my plot summary. “Season of the Canaries” is neither very good, but there is at least some sense in it.

For some 20 years I have thought on the problem of what would be an appropriate title. Not until today have I finally found a title, which suits the plots of the movie, gives the reader some acceptable indication of what to expect, and has some attractive force too, viz.

“Not the Season of the Canaries”


Anyone else who have seen this movie?

Any Bulgarian at this board?

Maybe it would be even better if one of the articles is cut away:
