In 2008 and 2009, a series of murders was committed in some villages of the Hungarian countryside. In most cases they threw Molotov coctails in their houses and shot the escaping people, all of them belonging to the gypsy minority. 'Gypsies' says no judgement, rather asks questions by using the widest scale of theatrical expression, humour and emotion, effecting both our hearts and mind. A whole society awaits for the answers: it is time to start the debate.
