Full Synopsis

The film explores identity, community, and self-reflection through portraits of six Roma people of different ages and backgrounds. Through their personal stories, the protagonists, who live in the area around Cristuru Secuiesc, reveal the diversity of Roma identity, while the film consciously avoids the stereotypes that often characterise documentaries about Roma communities. Despite its traditional interview-based format, the director employs bold visual techniques, transforming these personal testimonies into a powerful, positive portrait film rooted above all in self-representation.
