Blestemul Ariciului plot

“The Curse of the Hedgehogi” follows the life of a large Roma family for a year. They belong to the 'Baesi' branch of the Roma, who live in great poverty. The filmmaker accompanied them on their way from their home in the mountains to the lower villages, where they trade their homemade items. Those winter trips are survival trips for them. Yet the film is more than the story of their struggle for survival. In nearly a hundred minutes it becomes clear why they refuse to work the land and what their relationship is with Romanian shepherds and the wealthy Baesi from the village who make fortunes selling counterfeit rings.
