Contents/Summary

Summary
50-year old Georg Vinogradov is a pastor at the Estonian Christian Pentecostal Church in the city of Võru. Georg believes that the life of the Roma community is in deep crisis. The community is divided with each man for his own. Georg believes that his people are in need of a second coming, a spiritual rebirth. At the centre of this film is the relationship, possibly even conflict between a Christian world view and the traditional Roma world. The Roma community has maintained its identity through distinctiveness and through opposition to the surrounding culture. Independence and freedom have remained key values. How to develop and adapt, while at the same time remaining true to oneself is the central theme of this documentary.
