VERHAAL

Elke zomer doen een paar dappere Roma-meisjes mee aan de missverkiezing om Miss Roma te worden. Maar stel je voor zij niet dromen over een huwelijksaanzoek, maar om naar de middelbare school te gaan en een diploma te halen? Deze vrouwelijke regisseur is erin geslaagd om dichtbij al haar hoofdpersonen te komen en het intieme verhaal van deze tieners, met veel talent en begrip voor hun plaats in de maatschappij, te vertellen. Dit is een van de weinige films die zo tot de wereld van de Roma-jeugd weet door te dringen. De film won diverse prijzen, waaronder de Best Director Award op het Liburnia Film Festival in 2015 en de Audience Award en Ethics and Human Rights Jury Award op de Croatian Film Days in 2015.
