Shutka is the largest Romany settlement in the world. At least that is what the local fisherman claims as he guides the viewers through its tiny streets. This Kusturica-like film co-produced by the Czech Television presents us with an incredible number of both local and world champions to be found in almost every of the Shutka streets. No matter the discipline of their excellence, what counts is one’s own belief and the respect of others.
