Benjamin
Benjamin is a story about a 17-year old
Romany who searches for his identity.
State champion in geography, he isn’t
satisfied with life in a Romany environment
and tries to find the way to be fully
accepted by non-Romany people. Many
of the Romany in the settlement are jealous
of him because thanks to his school
achievements his family got water and
electricity. Benjamin’s parents, Jehovah’s
Witnesses, often emphasize that their son
is successful thanks to religion and God.
Benjamin disagrees with them in that as
well as in many other things.
