Footsteps in the Mud

Melisa, a 14-year-old Roma girl from Croatia is on her first day of the school year. Whilst she is in the eighth grade, her brother Renato is in the first. Renato runs away from school and so his big sister hunts to find him. As we travel with Melisa, we get to know the settlement and its inhabitants. We are introduced to traditional and contemporary music, and her community’s passion for cars and football, their daily activities and problems relating to housing and family.
