Summary:Donation from OSI-Budapest Arts and Culture Program. Duration: 01:20:00 Three generations of Gypsy musicians from Ózd, North-Eastern Hungary tell their life stories. The once recognized, celebrated musicians today suffer from unemployment and ethnic prejudices. The only welcoming institution in their vicinity is the Church: the Roma turn their musical talent to serve God. One of the musicians organizes a photo exhibition to commemorate the elders and to show what life was like for Gypsy musicians before the change of regimes in Hungary.
