Women venture deep into the forest to pick wild mushrooms and return home to sing songs to God, questioning him for making their life so hard. Young boys skillfully bring down tree branches with makeshift grappling hooks. Middle-aged Aron Lingurar cajoles his community into gathering the potato harvest. This is a languid, sympathetic, ethnographic look at seasonal life in a rural Roma community.
