Heavy Hearth

The documentary film Heavy Heart is an insight into the world of traditional Romani music. In three stories, the creators try to follow how the authentic plaintive songs pass from one generation to another or how they disappear. It is always about the relationships between children and their parents or grandparents because music is an important emotional catalyst in a Romani family. Tragicomic situations are supplemented by documentary intermezzos that were created during exploratory trips of ethnomusicologist Jana Belišová and her team. (MFF Cinematik Piešťany)
