Sedem Chasa Razlika

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Sedem chasa razlika (Bulgarian: Седем часа разлика, "Seven hours difference", though "Seven timezones away" or something would be more appropriate) is a Bulgarian series that started in late 2011.

Tropes used in Sedem Chasa Razlika include:
  • Alliteration: Mihail 'Miloto' Mihailov. See Fluffy the Terrible below for explanation about his nickname.
  • Bald of Awesome / Bald of Evil: Miloto. Well, awesome or evil?
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Tania Stoeva.
  • Fluffy the Terrible: Mihail 'Miloto' Mihailov again. A crime boss with a nickname that means "The Darling".
  • The Mafiya: Crime bosses, a Bulgarian (Miloto) as well as a Russian (Rasputin), are among the main cast. With their bodyguards and henchmen and all.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Mihail 'Miloto' Mihailov
  • Mama Bear: Both Tania Stoeva and Svetlana Stefanakova qualify.
  • Manipulative Bitch: Tania Stoeva.
  • Murder the Hypotenuse: Back in 1993, Tania's boyfriend who turned out to be Maia's biological father Pavel Stankov miraculously survived an attempt on his life by Miloto. Of course the crime boss made it look like a car accident in a snow storm.
  • One Degree of Separation: A few of the more enigmatic characters connect everybody else:
    • Kiril Kotzev: Colleague of General Luka Karlov during his secret agent career; lover of his daughter Svetlana Stefanakova; former trainer, longtime friend and occasional business partner to Miloto and Tania Stoeva; acquaintance of Pavel Stankov/Paul Stankoff (ex-boyfriend of Tanya Stoeva and biological father of her daughter).
    • Vasil Nikolov and Luka Karlov have some rather complex history together: 20 years ago General (then Lieutenant) Karlov put him into prison for illegal emigration attempt; said lieutenant also took $10000 from Vasil's girlfriend Agurig in order to release her; in prison Vasil befriends the elderly Teodor Stefanakov and after being released lives with the family of his son Stefan and grandson Teo; Teo's other (maternal) grandfather is none other than the aforementioned Luka Karlov.
  • Rape as Drama: And how.[context?]
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Tania Stoeva plans to have a guy rape Roki since she thinks the latter raped her daughter.
