One Day in a Roma Settlement in
Romania
Hetea is an isolated settlement of Roma
in Central Romania. Hidden deep in the
hills, around 350 people live in handmade
huts. In The Source we experience a day
in Hetea. The film starts with long, static
shots of the beginning of a new morning.
A pastoral way of life takes off: guiding
cows and horses, getting water, building
a new wooden house, doing the washing,
etc. In the afternoon suddenly the fat is
in the fire. People scream and threaten
each other. Little by little the serene
atmosphere returns, but while the sun is
going down the aftereffects of the quarrel
are still audible.

Poreklos
Jekh zis ko Romano than ani
Romania
Hetea si jekh izolirime than e Romengo
katri centralno Romania. Garavdo hor ko
planines, karigo 350 manusha zhivizna
ko koljibes. Ano Poreklos dozhivizasa
jekh zis ki Hetea. O filmi poshmizla bare,
nepokretno shoti katro sabahisa djiko
akshame. Pastirsko nacini e zhivotosko
poshmizla: araknapes o kraves hem o
grasta, lena pani, kerna neve kashtune
khera, thovna teshja hem avera. Palo
pladne od jednom posmizhna te han pes.
O manusha pistizna hem pretizna jekh

irizla pes aver turlos, ali dok o kham djala
tele o svadjes shaj pand te shunjon.
