The Caravans of the Last Vagabond Gypsies
Little known and unloved in Europe, vagabond gypsies consider themselves to be Children of God, happy to live under the open sky. Their mobility is part of a traditional culture that is seemingly simple and carefree. However, real life is harsh for them. Nevertheless, vagabond gypsies have strong faith and believe in giving. This film bears witness to their spirituality, and the beauty and simplicity of their life.
