Dajori

The protagonist of Dajori (mother in Romani) is forty-five-year-
old Marie Hučková, who lives with her husband in Varnsdorf. After
her younger sister Iveta ends up on the streets with her nine chil-
dren, she decides to take her own fate and theirs firmly into her own
hands and attempts to break out of the vicious circle of poverty that
characterises their hometown. This sensitive film, which captures
three years of a newly formed family's life together, follows the small
joys and daily challenges of caring for others and asks whether a
mother's love can overcome the dysfunctional system in which so-
cially excluded localities find themselves.
