At Easter 1991, when few could have imagined the xenophobic riots of the following months and years, 28-year-old black contract worker Jorge Joa Gomondai from Mozambique died in Dresden. He was attacked by a group of rioting skinheads and thrown from a moving tram. Or did he jump in panic? The trial against three perpetrators failed to answer this question.

Documentary about the Roma theater of the same name in Kosice, Slovakia, which is organized and run exclusively by Roma and is unique in Europe. After more than 40 years of silence and social and artistic exclusion of the Roma, ROMATHAN is a first cautious step toward carving out a "space of normality" in an otherwise hostile environment. The ensemble has given us an insight into its everyday theater life, and we encounter its members as artistic and creative people who are learning to regain their dignity and self-confidence.
