Life in a Roma village

Ethnic Roma Mioara Costea finishes milking one of her cows. Mioara and her husband Costel, with their approximately one dozen cows, plus turkeys, geese and chickens, are comparatively wealthy, and Costel attributes their success to his decision not to sell the ten hectares of land restituted to him after the fall of the Romanian communist government in 1989.
