Synopsis:
Me, my Gipsy family & Woody Allen is the story of the Halilovic family that came to Italy from Yugoslavia at the end of the '60 and lived in caravans for twenty years. It is a very intimate journey on the ending of nomadic life and about the difficulties of settling in a council apartment told in first person with irony and witticism by the young woman director struggling to accept her origins. According to her family's traditions she should be married already but she is determined to decide for her self and motivated to continue fighting to achieve her dreams. A portrait of a small community made from the perspective of someone that is part of it, presenting a different, deeply personal insight into Roma culture.

Featuring:
The Halilovic family.
