MRS. DINOSAUR

MRS. DINOSAUR 
feature film 75’ ©2002

On the eve of Christmas andew Year, even grown-ups are excited at the prospect of miracles. Sometimes they even happen. In a family similar to many others, 5-year old Nusha has never felt completely comfortable. The child's beloved father is an unsuccessful actor, while her mother, like most other Bulgarian women, does her best to make ends meet for the family with a small cosmetics business. Nusha feels more at home in her imaginary world. The only grown-up allowed there is Mrs. Dinosaur, a former actress, brimming with surprise and peculiarity, and translating the complex rules of real life into an understandable childish language.
