Îïèñàíèå: Great movie with great performances! Even the story (the usual weak point of Hungarian movies) managed to capture me, although in retrospect it seems rather calculable and builds too much on usual clichés. The major strength of the movie is its atmosphere, built up by the shocking images of the gypsy ghetto and the amateur (well, they seem so real that I think they give themselves) cast. Also, roma communities are known for their lively and dominantly happy "southern" character, despite the poor conditions they live in: this is also shown here. I am sure that it takes more than this movie to make progress in emancipating the Romas of Central and Eastern Europe, but this movie certainly raises your understanding of these exploited people living "ganz unten".
