Dajori

Dajori (which means “mother” in Romani) tells the moving story of Marie, a strong Romani woman who lives with her husband Enrico in the poor Czech border town of Varnsdorf. Marie decides to help her younger sister, who has become homeless with her nine children. Two-year-old Anabel and nine-year-old Samuel come into Marie and Enrico's care. Over the next three years, the film follows the dynamics of the new family and Marie's efforts to compensate the traumatized children with maternal love while raising them according to her ideals.
