Europa Passage

Synopsis

The film covers the double life of a group of Roma who have been shuttling between Hamburg and their Romanian village for years. They earn their meagre income through begging and spend nights in improvised shacks alongside train tracks or in the thickets of public parks. Four to five times a year they return home to Nămăiesti, a village about 100 km west of Bucharest, to take care of their children. Only Maria and Țirloi managed to build a bit of normality for themselves in Hamburg; they have a place to stay and their 13-year-old granddaughter is the first in the family to be able to read and write. They form the bridge between the two worlds: he has work, she still begs.
