Münich subways

There is a place at the outskirts of Münich, where gypsy musicians from Romania are sleeping. During the day they fill with music Münich streets, and in the night time they find their silence in underground. They are almost 30. Good friends, some of them know each other since they were kids, comming from different or the same villages. They sing since ever. They earn money this way and they send to families in Romania. Some of  have the wifes with them in the underground, and some of them hardly can see the family twice a year. They got used with this fight. During wintertime it's so freezing outside,  and they keep singing on the streets, old songs from romanian folclor, old romanian gypsy music and some commercial and well known songs like "love story" etc :). They all are full of life. It was a cold evening of March, I went there, filmmed and photograph them, eat and drink all together. Everything turned to a nice midnight concert in Münich undergrounds, when normal and perfect people were sleeping and snoring in luxurious appartments.

On the river

Someone said: Why live in a house of 300.000 euros, when I can live under a bridge of 3 million euros. No rent, no maintenance, nothing, just the blue sky above my eyes :)

Fairy Tale

     

You can make the difference

The movie shows us a world that many do not know about it, that many ignore it, a world that belongs to some black rules created by the society which we live in, rules arised from the insticnt of survival. Every day on the streets we see children who beg, we see shattered destinies, we see how some of them will never find the place called „home". At the outskirts of Bucharest where miracles happen, a special person has chosen to change this, setting an extraordinary example of humanity through founding an association where she manages to gather from the streets, a fairly large number of children, of which she cares, dress, feeds and send them to school. It s an example against discrimination, these children being now fondly regarded by people. Some of them want to become painters, some want to become football players, a girl wants to become a ballerina. Coming from families with very difficult situations, they are being reintegrated with many efforts, children that were once silent, scared, suffering from lack of affection and trust. The Association has given them back the childhood once lost in the disintegration of the human being, which the society does not offer any support.
