Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov’s Triumph — combined with their previous films The Lesson (TIFF ’14) and Glory (2016) — forms a trilogy inspired by sensationalist news stories from their Bulgarian homeland that prove once and for all that truth is stranger than fiction.
‘What would you do for your worst enemy?’ Chimo and El Rubio: two teenagers from a run-down neighborhood, victim and executioner, bullied and bully, whose lives are marked by enmity and resentment. Chimo sees an opportunity for revenge and end years of suffering. However, fate has an unexpected twist for them.
