at first sigh, a film about Gypsies life. a case from Balkans. at the second, a kind of documentary. in fact, only a picture. because it is a beautiful puzzle in which the survive of a small community, the fight against the rules of the others, the furnaces from Tuzla and the fear, hope, sadness of Nazif , the links between community members, solution for a serious problem, the hall of hospital, the girls, the dialogs, gestures of Senada are more than scenes but pieces of a message about East reality. Danis Tanovic has the great virtue to maintain the precise measure in each scene. nothing strange. nothing extraordinary. only a honest picture from East. in the skin of humiliation resignation and unusual solution for the viewer out of this small circle.scenes from ordinary existence, so far by usual jaundices
