Synopsis
Two filmmakers spend time getting to know Ruth and Natalia, two young Romanian women who grew up together in the Transylvanian village of Malancrav. One is a Saxon, the other a Gypsy. One left the village, the other stayed. The only thing they seem to have in common is their childhood friendship. This is a film that explores the contradictions in their relationship and questions our understanding of social and ethnic belonging, migration, money, rural life and the search for one's roots.
