SYNOPSIS
Hristo, the Untamed is a three-part documentary series that goes beyond the sporting career of the charismatic former FC Barcelona player. For the first time, Hristo opens up about his private life and reveals his more human and family-oriented side. Guided by Stoichkov himself, we discover his childhood and early beginnings in a Bulgaria isolated under communism.
Without understanding his roots—a country under dictatorship and a close-knit family with limited means—it is impossible to understand the character we came to know when he arrived at Barça: aggressive, ambitious, driven by a winning instinct and, above all, rebellious like a runaway horse.
