Four generations of a gypsy family of resilient women and complicated men, narrated by a smuggling godfather, following deep social and political changes in Slovenia.

Surprisingly good

Shocked to see a movie as good as this doesn't have a single review, especially since it's so easily available. Is it is good as Wasseypur or Dom za Vesanje, maybe not, but it's a delightful movie with strong international cast, some amazing acting, great visuals, gorgeous soundtrack, all in all arguably the best and certainly most entertaining movie ever to come from Slovenia. It also elegantly solves the language problem that plagues most Slovenian movies, switching between Roma, Italian and a charming local dialect gives it authenticity. Well done, Marko Nabersnik.
