Main is the second cinema role of Bogomil Simeonov in the movie "Life Flows Slowly by..." (Screenwriter Hristo Ganev, director Binka Zhelyazkova). The actor once again has the chance to play a complex character - Zhelyo. In the capacity as Member of Parliament, Zhelyo has decided that a monument to his death comrade-in-arms Velko should be raised on the site of his heroic death, instead of having developed the iron ore deposits in the area and thus provide jobs for the locals.
