About the film
"Place under the sun" is a portrait of the womеn, working in the textile industry, who live "without makeup and face patch". The screenplay writer knew well the life and nature of her characters, their their pains and aspirations. In the screenplay everything looked vital, plausible, convincing, it was simply "asking" to be trasfered to the screen.
In this period of development of Bulgarian cinema, there was an acute lack of works, in which the main character was the common worker. Their world also deserved to be studied, described and recreated. The film was made by the canons of ideological and aesthetic requirements, which existed at the time, but is an honest attempt to fill this gap.
