Cast
No credited cast is listed for this film.
Plot
Most of the Gypsy population of Clejani, a village located some 50 km away from Bucharest, traditionally consists of musicians going back for many generations. The film shows how the musicians relate to daily life and the way their perception of reality influences their music.
Sinekatalog’s take
A documentary on the Romani musicians of Clejani, a village near Bucharest, showing how everyday perception shapes their music. Warm, observational and rhythmic, it is a joyful immersion for music lovers and fans of ethnographic film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
