Roma people are peculiar, and their identity is lost somewhere in between the past and their roaming through the land. Still, Roma people manage to stay fiery and proud. By travelling to their neighbourhoods and communities in Attica, and Argolida the director succeeded in entering their previously inaccessible world. Roma people welcomed us into their lives, keeping their heart warm and wide open.
