A short film based on the music clip LLuvia.
Original idea by Marieta Petchanska.
"Forgive" is a poetic short story of a broken dream.
When you cannot change the past - the only remedy is forgiveness.
Starring Maria Rodriguez & Veselin Veselinov.
The idea stems from the short story that is reflected in the music video LLuvia (Rain). It is an ambiguous video that evokes the curiosity of the viewer. The short film tells the story of the video in a reverse mode. While the protagonist is training, a dramatic love story unravels through flashbacks.

Veselin Veselinov is the most promising east-European Muai Tai fighter. Twice second world champion and multinational champion he is also very good looking on camera and a promising actor. He has been working in several music videos and is the protagonist of the latest still unreleased music video of Mala Rodriguez - lluvia. He is 28 years old, born in Bulgaria.
Irina and Dani are a young couple in love living in Bulgaria. They are dreaming of a better life somewhere far from their country. Dani is a Maui-Tai fighter, but in order to make money, sometimes he works as a messenger on the black market. Irina makes clothes in her home studio.
Although they are in love and happy together, the harsh Bulgarian reality is bringing them down and making their being an unpleasant strive sometimes. Dani believes that one day he can turn on the mafia and escape with his girlfriend and a load of money far away.
Irina, on her side, is so involved with him that she would do anything just to see him happy for once. She is tired of him fighting and being nervous and suspicious about her. She just wish that everything would turn up right one day. Not having enough money, makes Dani feel uncomfortable and suspicious about Irina. He projects his own insecurity with her and this makes him act precipitately.
His tragedy is that he has to learn the biggest lesson of his life, by losing the most valuable thing he has - Irina. And it is irreversible. Irina is killed because of his acts and all he has is a load of money and a load of guilt.
The only thing left for Dani is to find a way to forgive himself and move forward, clean. And the rain will come to clear it all.

Music video by Mala Rodríguez performing Lluvia. © 2014 Universal Music Spain, S.L.
The Music clip LLuvia is the Prologue of the short film. And the short film is the explanation of the music video. Both stories are self-sufficient and complementary at the same time.
