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.
After living peacefully in the caverns of a small town, a stranded group of aliens turn deadly as they fight for their existence, betraying the compassionate chief of police who has protected them for 28 years.
