To help him decide, he sets out to try and find his family; In this extraordinary film from director, Antonia Meszaros, Arpad finally discovers the truth about his mother, brother and father ... and finds himself asking whether even he has been affected by stereotypes of gypsy life; As his Dad says goodbye again, this time with an affectionate wave-- should they keep in touch? Or is it better for everyone if Arpad finally breaks free from his Roma roots?DurationPT28MAuthorized Access PointLife on the edge
