Summary:

Every morning a school bus passes by Denise and her cousins, Jonathan and Walter, without picking them up. Meanwhile, the rise of the far right is being felt in Europe. Over a period of six years, we follow the daily life of a Roma family, struggling to live with warmth and humour.

All interwoven with television archival material and calls between the director and her friend Dijana Pavlović, which awakens the whole emotional spectrum, while giving an experience of recognition and conflict with prejudice.
