''Margarit and Margaritha'' (original title: ''Маргарит и Маргарита'') is a 1989 Bulgarian film about two high school teenagers facing the reality of rebelling against communist authority.
Margarita, known as "Rita", gets transferred to a new school after trouble with a pervert teacher, but trouble follows her here too. She catches the attention of Margarit ("Măr"), but he gets himself expelled defending her. Rita follows him and the two soon discover all the hardships which adult life in Bulgaria's corrupt society can throw in the face of two rebellious school dropouts.

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler: Măr is sentenced to death after killing Nerizanov, but on the way to the court room he grabs a cop's pistol and shoots himself in the head.]]
* CommieLand[=/=]DirtyCommunists: The setting is 80s communist Bulgaria, a WretchedHive of corruption.
* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: both leads, notably Margarit, who won't stand for any injustice.
* DeanBitterman: The principal is the typical aloof jerk who only cares about outward appearance of order and discipline; when he punishes both a student who offended Rita ''and'' Măr who defended her, Margarit causes a riot.
