Synopsis

This is the tale of the origins of the Roma. A flock of birds living free arrives in a rich land. They feast and feast until eventually they can no longer take off. “Our claws became legs, Our wings became hands, And so we remained on the ground. Instead of the soaring into the skies. Once birds, we became people.”
