There are songs that leave a deep trace in our hearts. They turn out to be important during different stages in our lives and we often find new meaning in them many years after they were first released. This is the case with one of the hits of Bulgarian pop star Vassil Naydenov. The song is called “A Dali e Taka” and has received a new life in the movie "Trust Game" directed by Martin Makariev, which will be released in cinemas on February 17.

The movie explores the personal stories of a mother and daughter, the changes they both experience in their youth and the need to confront the violence diguised behind the mask of good intentions. Their destinies are different but are inextricably intertwined. The main roles are performed by actors Yana Marinova, Luiza Grigorova and Vladimir Zombori, but Vassil Naydenov’s song also has an important place in the film.

The song was created at very end of the 70s and was included as the first track in Vassil Naydenov's first solo album "Adaptation". With music by Toncho Rusev, lyrics by Vanyo Valchev and arranged by Konstantin Tsekov, "A Dali e Taka" quickly became a hit and has remained an evergreen for several generations of Bulgarians.
