The Wheels of Heaven is both a fantasy thriller and a touching coming-of-age drama with subtle English humor. The idea is inspired by Mark Twain's novel - "The Mysterious Stranger" and examines the dualism between "good" and "evil", exploring how these concepts relate to life, as well as the delicate balance between them. To quote a line from the film: "There is darkness in the most virtuous and light in the most depraved". The film was shot in 39 locations throughout Bulgaria, as well as in LA and London.
