Objectives

In 2016 while filming with BBC 2 for a series, I encounter this topic in my city. Athens.
Something I had no clue about. I wanted to know what and why this is happening. I wanted to observe and make people aware that Athens is not only what most of us thing it is.
The film is nothing more than an observation in the life of a Romani comunity.
