Gadjo (Gadzio)
The music becomes a pretext of a meeting of a Romany boy and grandfather – Pole. Rebellious lyrics of a young hip-hopper contrast with idyllic songs of the grandfather playing guitar. The confrontation of two different worlds leads to surprising results.
“Gadzio” is a parable about arising friendship that should have never taken place. The characters discover that they have more in common than they supposed. The need for being a father and a son is met.
