Country / Region:
These mysterious gypsy families live in the villages of Korolevo and Podvinogradovo in the Transcarpathian region and are one of the most closed communities in Ukraine. There is a strict law here that women must wear long skirts or dresses. Skirts are often made up of so many layers and padding that they can weigh up to ten kilograms. Girls get married at 12-13 years old and have children. Their clothes, culture, traditions immerse you in a completely different amazing world. For a year and a half I negotiated with various people and communities who have close relations with these Keldelari families, because they are very closed Roma communities, with their own rules and traditions. And finally, one influential doctor in this region helped me organize a filming in this community. I was given 2 hours for one and the other Roma community and I was very glad that I was able to preserve the history of these unique families.
