DESCRIPTION
A documentary film about Denisa, a Romani girl who lives with her family on the outskirts of Wrocław. Sha can't hear, she has also never learned to speak, but she loves to dance and watch Bollywood films. She has problems communicating with her peers, but she knows how to get them to play with her. Together they scavenge the garbage, collecting things that others don't need but they themselves find intriguing. While adult members of the Romani community are struggling with poverty, exclusion, and everyday resentment, Denisa dances among hens, dogs, and children. Dancing and imagination help her create a world in which she can do whatever she wants, and express emotions which she cannot verbalise.
