Two filmmakers spend time getting to know Ruth and Natalia, two young Romanian women who grew up together in the Transylvania village Malancrav. One if them is a Gypsy, then other is a Saxon; one left the village, the other chose to stay. The only thing they seem
to share is their friendship. The film explores the relationship of the two women and questions our understanding of social and ethnic belonging, migration, money, rural life and the search for one’s roots.
