like in many countries, soap opera is a form of delight for a not small part of TV public. Romanian viewers are not exception. so, after many South - American productions, must be time for national TV series. in this circle, Gypsy Heart/ Inimă de țigan is a special case. not exactly for artistic virtues - the presence of great actors is a good basis for not became a failure - but for subject. in East, Gipsys are one of eternal problems. this series desires be a bridge. a kind of exploration of traditions and life style. and it does good work. same love and hate stories, business and evil characters without isles of gray before end, humor, dances, a remarkable Gheorghe Dinică as bulibasha and Gheorghe Visu in an inspired role. but the basis is the subtle propaganda for a TV channel who use its stars in this production. conclusion - a nice beginning. realistic but almost close by truth, full of great good intentions but perfect image of Gypsy roots for present Romanian reality. in fact, short chronicle of conquest.

noble purpose
Kirpianuscus29 July 2017
a surprise. for risky theme. for the wise choice of few great actors as pillars of a story who is, in same measure, exotic, fascinating, strange , realistic using the subtle form of interracial education tools. the stars of Acasă TV and Gheorghe Dinică, Marin Moraru, Gheorghe Visu, Florina Cercel in a chronicle of every day life of Gipsies. sure, it is a soap opera. sure, the rules of genre are the laws who define the film. but, "Inimă de țigan" has the virtue to look for more than a simple show. and this message of the need and chance to live together, Romanians and Gipsies is a precious good point. because it gives a new perspective about the other, in subtle manner, with right tools.the use of the old hate-fascination about the Gipsies from the majority is the key of its success. and, maybe, the premise for the series.
