The mistrust between the Romanies and the majority of the population escalated dramatically in the Finnish village of Pankakoski in 1956. The men of the village joined forces to drive the Romanies out. The film uses this little known historical event as a starting point. The film shows how the storytelling and the legends carry the "true Romani way" – and the sense of not belonging – over to the next generation.
