THE WHITE WHALE| 1hr : 08mins
Director: Bob Entrop | Producer: Bob Entrop
Focus Years: 2004 | Country: Netherlands
Synopsis:
Lalla Weiss is an assertive Sintezza (Gypsy woman) who has been married a couple of years to Kees, a thoroughbred Dutchman from Amsterdam. She no longer lives in a caravan, but in a stone house, which took quite a bit of adjustment in the beginning.
Having built up a relationship of trust with Lalla as a mother and as the spokeswoman for the Sinti and Roma, filmmaker Bob Entrop has been able to follow her for a year in The Netherlands and abroad—during the International Gypsy festival in the Netherlands and the Django Reinhardt festival in France; visiting a Roma Family and School project in the Czech Republic; as a keynote speaker at the OSCE in Austria; with her uncle at the 60th-year commemoration of World War II in Westerbork; and as a mother with her family.
Lalla has shown him things that were hardly known or done nowadays.
A film full of passion, music, dance, history, daily life and World War II memories.
