Acting
The seven members of the gypsy band Lomnické Čháve come from a Roma settlement and dream of making it big. Sensitively observed and with uplifting music the film tells the story of their journey, struggles, enthusiasm, failures and perseverance.
Marian Kuffa, a charismatic parish priest and a man of action, with his 'children', former convicts, the homeless, and drug addicts, has embarked on his most difficult mission. He has decided to help the poorest Roma to survive the cold and biting frost in their modest, hastily built dwellings in Roma slums in eastern Slovakia. Together with him, we get acquainted with the Roma ethnic group from a completely different angle.
Pastor Marián Kuffa from Žakoviec near Kežmark built an incredible community made up of homeless people, prostitutes, former prisoners, abandoned children and people without families. This place in the village of Žakovce is an island of purity and hope in this world. The life story of the charismatic engineer Mariano was varied. He went through many occupations and professions such as mountaineer, karate practitioner, agricultural engineer, horse lover and finally Roman Catholic priest at the old parish in Žakovce, from which he managed to build something incredible since 1992. This place attracts believers and non-believers of all ages, not only from Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
