Zhanna films her everyday life in Radvanka, a Roma settlement. The conditions in which she has to live are becoming increasingly difficult, and the construction of her own house has taken years.
Zhanna works as a street orderly. Every morning she leaves the Roma district called Radvanka and walks through the empty morning streets of the Ukrainian western city Uzhgorod. Zhanna takes her camera. Through her chronicle, we get to know the inhabitants of the Roma settlement, discover how Roma overcome the hardships of war.
We see funerals, weddings, how someone was just born, and the next shot is music playing in the cemetery. No one knows when the Roma settlement appeared here and how the Roma settled in one of the oldest districts of Uzhgorod. Perhaps this film will engrave the history of Roma from Radvanka, if only this small fragment that Zhanna shares with us.
