    • Synopsis
    • Lubo makes a humble living as a street performer when, in
      1939, he is called to join the Swiss army to defend the border
      from a potential German invasion. Forced to abandon
      his family, he soon discovers that his wife tragically died
      while trying to stop the authorities from taking their three
      young children away. Targeted because they are Jenisch, a
      minority nomadic community, Lubo’s family falls victim to a
      national campaign for the ‘re-education’ of street children.
      But Lubo knows he will not find peace until he reunites with
      his children and gets justice for himself and his people - for
      which he is ready to go to extraordinary lengths. So begins
      a decades long journey for love and self-determination, an
      incredible adventure and an epic quest for freedom.
