Four seasons, three generations of a Roma family, one Eastern Slovakian ghetto shortly before Slovakia's EU membership: the life of the matriarchally defined family is not only determined by poverty, police's arbitrary use of power, festivals, traditions and satellite television that serves as a window to the rest of Europe. Their financial situation deteriorates rapidly. As one member of the family gets arrested on false allegations the film team decides to intervene. (Fischerfilm) (official distributor synopsis)
