Description
Summary:Supported by OSI-Budapest Arts and Culture Program. Attached to Final Report 40016431. Duration: 00:54:00 An unsentimental story of Block 20, a tower block at the outskirts of Yambol, a provincial town in Bulgaria. 25 years ago it had all it takes for panel socialist heaven: parquet floors, hot water and central heating, street lamps, benches under the apple trees. Someone called the place Paradise Hotel – and the name stuck. But with the years the block gradually changed, and Block 20 is a Roma ghetto with 1500 inhabitants.
