This fiIm documents the daily lives of Roma in their winter quarters on the outskirts of BerIin, Germany. The film presents insights into the Roma s complex and often tumultuous society. When in 1932 LászIó Moholy-Nagy shot his barely twelve minute-Iong experimental fiIm, he confirmed the widespread image of the Roma as fortune telIers, musicians and trainers of dancing bears, but at the same time showed them as a happy and confident community. Moholy-Nagy couId have had no idea that in only a few years the Roma, Iike the European Jews, would come into the crosshairs of Nazi extermination poIicy. ln bIack & white with a musicaI soundtrack. |
