Romanian filmmaker Liviu Tipurita sets out to trace what happens to the children he sees begging and stealing on street corners across Europe, most of them from Romania's Roma communities. His route runs from Romanian villages, where poverty and centuries of discrimination have pushed families to the margins, into the networks that now move children across borders for organized crime. Tipurita dates the shift to 2007, when Romania's entry into the EU opened freer travel and, he argues, gave traffickers a much larger operating area. He talks his way into parts of the Roma community usually closed to outsiders, sitting with families who send children out to work the streets, and puts the same questions to police, social workers, and officials whose job is supposedly to stop this. Their answers vary between overwhelmed and evasive. The film does not separate the exploitation from the poverty and prejudice that feed it, keeping both onscreen at once: a population pushed to the edges of European society, and the criminal economy that has grown up around its children.
