Boyka and Hristo are in love and they pledge to marry. Yovcho, the older brother of Hristo, is against. The nasty Stoyko also likes Boyka. Stoyko's matchmakers arrive and take Boyka away in a cart. At the same time Hristo together with some friends manage to free her. Hristo's father is keen on building a new house and wants to give some land to the newly-weds. But the rumor spreads around the village - the child which Boyka is expecting may not be Hristo's; didn't she spend a whole night at the Stoyko's house? Hristo begins to worry. When he speaks to his wife about his torments she is horrified. They have a quarrel and Boyka goes out. The drunken Stoyko admitted that he spread the rumor. Everyone goes out to look for Boyka. Soon they find her drowned in the millpond.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
