A hybrid film that explores the boundaries of cinematic storytelling and enters the ground of visual anthropology, as it traces the roots of an old tradition of the Roma communities, who are marrying their children as early as possible. How can we measure the ethics of a tradition? And how can we decode meaning through child-games?
