A Roma family with many children has lived in the swamps of Bucharest’s nature reserve for many years. One day, their life undergoes a dramatic change. Pursuant to the city’s land development plan, the residents must move to a flat in an apartment building which is offered to them. The transition becomes a true revolution for the family, in particular for the children who, accompanied by numerous domestic animals, have lived close to nature so far. Their sanitary conditions improve, but at the same time they have to deal with school duties and other issues caused by a different lifestyle, which have been unknown to them until then. Golden Horn at Krakow Film Festival.
