There are already more gypsies in Europe than Danish people. Estimates range between 6 to 12 million people. Inspite of being everywhere they are mostly invisible. Nowadays Europeans know more about fish in deep sea than about gypsies. Our film tries to change that.

Isabel Fonseca:
Bury Me Standing - The Gypsies and their Journey (Vintage 1996)
»A revelation«, wrote Salman Rushdie, »a hidden world, ignored and mysterious, persecuted and unkown - is discovered in this very moving book«.
