L'Oasis des Mendiants plot

About 100 Roma beggars live in Lausanne, Switzerland. They are accused by the locals of belonging to a mafia network, abusing their children and disturbing the peace of this small town. An initiative is being discussed by the city, one aimed at banning begging. For two years, the directors followed a Roma family who was attacked, transferred, expelled and helped by only a handful of civilians. The problem divides the community, from the residents to the associations that defend the Roma.
