Reportage about a camp of Roma from Transcarpathian Ukraine in Lviv. About two hundred Roma live there. They came from Zakarpattia, where uneducated Roma lack jobs. They hope for a better fate in the case of a big city, which is not fully realized. They collect scrap from garbage dumps, sometimes they are hired to do odd farm jobs. They live in tents made of branches and construction foil, placed on the bare ground.

Catholic parishioners from Lviv are helping them.
