The Curse of the Hedgehog (2004)

Turica and her relatives wander from village to village, carrying handmade brooms and baskets, which they try to trade for food. The filmmaker goes beyond stereotypes, following an extremely poor Roma family on their survival winter trips, and for a whole year. They belong to the “Baiesi” group of Roma, who live in extreme poverty.
