"I'm very pleased that Nobody Wants the Night opened the 2015 Berlinale. Isabel Coixet has created an impressive and perceptive portrait of two women in extreme circumstances," says Dieter Kosslick, director of the Berlinale.

Why Me? is also a movie with Bulgarian participation at the prestigious festival, as the Bulgarian production team involved Chouchkov Brothers, in association with the Bulgarian National Film Center and Eurimages. The film was directed by acclaimed Romanian Director Tudor Giurgiu.

"To work on this movie with our Romanian colleagues was a pleasure. We hope that we will be able to screen it in the cinemas, and that Bulgarian TV will have a desire to broadcast, because the story of the film is told in Romania, but it is completely updated for the reality in the past 10 years and is fully up to date with Bulgarian political life", says executive producer Borislav Chouchkov.
