When their school is desegregated the three children set out for the city school, optimistic for education and new friendships, even as funds earmarked for integration are questionably used to build a 'Roma-only' school in their village. Their innocent optimism quicky sours when they are met with low expectations and further isolation. Shot over four years, this film touches in issues including institutionalized racism, public education, and the intractability of poverty.
