Summary: | Verzio FF
The documentary introduces "Parno Grast," playing authentic gypsy music from the village of Paszab. The band is really one big family in the literal sense of the word, with members ranging from 15 to 70. The band has been touring the world for years, receiving much publicity and success through their concerts. In their homeland, Hungary's Szabolcs county, they still have to face unemployment and ethnic prejudice which are hard to escape. We follow them through their everyday lives, and see them at Easter and at the Mayday feast, experiencing their joys and sorrows. May 1, 2004 was the date of Hungary's accession to the European Union. Sándor Silló's film records, with an unmistakable touch of irony, how the inhabitants of the small village celebrate this important event. Will their living conditions change once Hungary belongs to the EU?
