Divoké devadesátky. Šusťákové soupravy, pestrobarevná saka, velké magnetofony, videopřehrávače, kýčovitá dancefloor hudba, videopůjčovny na každém kroku, nové společenské poměry, záplava různých podvodníků, začínající organizovaný zločin a s ním spojené násilí a korupce. V tomto čase a prostředí anonymního slovenského maloměsta se odehrává příběh Laca Hundera – údržbáře v muzeu, který je hrdý na svou práci, ale kvůli své cholerické povaze se ocitne v nesprávném čase na nesprávném místě.

An experimental short documentary essay about the dreams of Roma women living in the ghetto in Kosice. Roma are one of the largest ethnic groups living in Slovakia. Despite this, integration into all spheres of society is difficult. And it should be noted that this applies not only to Slovakia. Luník IX houses the largest community of Romani people in Slovakia. Although originally built for 2,500 inhabitants, it is estimated that the population is now three times larger. Living standards are low, with services such as gas, water, and electricity cut off, as the majority of inhabitants are not paying rent or utilities fees.
Muzafer Bislim comes up with some of his most insightful songs while sitting on the floor, recording lyrics into a cassette recorder bought at a flea market. A poet and songwriter who collaborates with the biggest names in Romani music, the 54-year old lives a life of modest means with his family in Shutka, Macedonia. Stored in the corner of his one-room house is a tottering, ceiling-high stack of handwritten, 25,000-word, multi-dialect dictionary of the oldest and most obscure words in the Romani language, which he has painstakingly collected over 35 years. When he's invited to the International Biennial of Poets held in Paris, he sees the trip as an opportunity to have his dictionary published. A testament to the endurance of a people who have been scattered across Europe, the dictionary is not only a work of art but also a rare link to a divided past.
