A documentary about bizarre residents of Shutka, a Macedonian village built on the former city dump area. Shutka, where everyone is the champion of something. This film is a celebration of the culture, humor, spirit, oddities and idiosyncrasies of the Roma, one of the world's poorest and most persecuted peoples. Ultimately we are instructed in the celebration of life despite any and all circumstances - everyone is of value here.

While his country Yugoslavia gradually turns into a battlefield, director Emir Kusturica guides his film crew to overcome this reality. A new world, which carries the signs of the old, comes to life.
