Adela is a Gypsy married to a Saxon
from Transylvania, while Agnetha is a
Saxon married to a Gypsy. They live in
the same village, Mergideal, are mothers
to many children and life doesn’t go
easy on them. When asked “How did
you meet?” they answer plainly, “It
was love.” In Transylvania, there are
hundreds such families, spread in
the areas where Saxons used to live.
The documentary film maker tells of
how he went into the Transylvanian
Plateau looking for Roma and Saxon
mixed families. He was interested in
these minorities, opposite both in origin
and culture. The Gypsies remember
the times when they came about and
there were many Saxons and only a
few Gypsy. Now it is different. What do
the two ethnic groups have in common
and what differentiate them? What do
they learn from each other? A close look
on interculturalism in Transylvania.
