Modern days drama

Warning: Spoilers
--- MODERATE LEVEL OF SPOILER --- I will start this review by saying that I was myself involved in a volunteering program dealing with socially marginalized children and I know their every day struggle. This movie is all about how 3 young Roma children are able to grow and take care of themselves, while their mother is sentenced to prison for drug selling. The every day life of Toto (the youngest of the children), Andreea and Ana is superbly described and the producers do a really good job in capturing what's really important. Not to mention that some of the scenes were filmed by the children themselves with a small video camera. With so many different views - the poor life of the Romas living in Bucharest's neighborhood Ferentari, the prison, the school, the home for abandoned children, even a footage of the Romanian Drug Enforcement Police Department - this documentary has it all. It's a masterpiece and you can not simply pass by it without feeling any emotion. Go watch it, you'll not regret.
