The portrait of a hidden culture, characterized by love of freedom, marked by wounds of the past. A magical journey through Yenish Europe.
Invited by a mysterious friend, a film team sets out on a journey into a hidden Yenish Europe that stretches from dusty banlieus in France to the forests of Carinthia. Told by the voices of young and old Travellers, a kaleidoscopic panorama of their lives unfolds: Diverse people relate to each other, bound together by their love of freedom but also by deep wounds from the past.Their otherness is mirrored and reflected not least in the exchange between the filmmakers and the Yenish.
