Description of the content
“I cared for my donkey more than I do for my own man and kids. But now it’s dead. If I had a donkey now, I would live like a Member of Parliament” – concludes Turica, one of the main characters in the film. She and her relatives wander from village to village, carrying handmade brooms and baskets, which they try to trade for food. The filmmaker goes beyond stereotypes, following an extremely poor Gypsy family in their survival winter trips.
