“Hamlet…freshly reimagined.” — Time Out London
“Captures a specific way of life without placing it behind glass…you might call it an old story with higher stakes.” — Village Voice
Directed by Martin Šulík
When his father is killed and his loan-shark uncle becomes head of the family, a Roma boy is caught between two worlds—he navigates poverty and prejudice as he struggles to support his family, while resisting his uncle's criminal activities and embittered attitudes toward non-Roma. Shot on location, evocative hillside landscapes and touches of magic realism balance this astutely realist drama.
