CALL ME BY MY NAME

What do you see when you see me? What do I see when I see myself? What do I see when I look at you?

Every day, Sinti:zze and Rom:nja move in a world full of prejudices. Numerous clichés are projected onto them from the outside: they are supposed to be musically gifted nomads and spirited dancers, unbound and free, romantic campfires in the forest included. But what happens when reality differs from these cemented images? And what if it doesn’t?

How do I go my own way regardless of all external circumstances and perceptions? How can I be myself, with all my facets and contradictions?

Together with Sinti:izze and Rom:nja from Hungary and Germany, director and Sinto Stefan Herrmann tells of empowerment and self-assertion, of marginalisation, of stereotypes that are reproduced again and again and the attempt to defy them.
