- Synopsis
- Pascal, Miranda, Jeremy and Franziska are true gypsies. They are aged between 17 - 25, love big cars and decided to go for the «gipsy» way of life. Just as many other young yenisch people do. They need their freedom and fight for it. They show us a world that is usually closed for sedentary people. A distinct life but nevertheless a Swiss way of life. Gypsies today – disenchanted, drawn from life.
  An approach. The sedentary people are still feared. Parents and grandparents, who were split from their families by force, hand on this fear. The campaign “road children” of the children public social aid Pro Juventute still continues to have effect. Both worlds are separated and the prejudices are kept alive on both sides.
  To work one year for a film, to bear up, fills everybody with pride; because for both, the protagonists and filmmakers, it was demanding but also revealing.
