Queer Romas search for their living space and dream of working abroad. A legless father of five children longs for a wheelchair. A Romani grandmother sacrifices her life for the health of her beloved grandson. Will Emil, a Romani man who found faith in God, be able to save his son from alcohol? Four stories from the poorest Roma settlements in Slovakia aim to break down prejudices between the Roma community and the white majority.
