| Synopsis / Sinopsis |
| You Live and Burn is a gritty and powerful documentary film about two Roma siblings on the verge of adulthood in Finland. The film is a story about the search one's identity and about finding one's path in life. For the main characters of the film, Mirella and Benja, Romani culture represents shackles that prevent them from getting on with their lives. These two young people question the rules and regulations that the mother of the family still swears by. You Love And Burn fights for the right to listen to one's heart and for the right of expression. |
Un documentar fără menajamente despre viaţa, în Finlanda, a doi tineri romi, frate şi soră, aflaţi în căutarea propriei identităţi şi luptînd să-şi facă un drum în viaţă. Mirella şi Benja se simt încătuşaţi de cultura căreia îi aparţin şi se revoltă împotriva legilor şi regulilor pe care mama lor se străduieşte să le impună. Să arzi ca o lumînare este ca un strigăt pentru dreptul fiecăruia de a-şi urma glasul inimii şi a se putea exprima liber.
