Gypsy Dreams, the original 52minutes documentary, was made over two years following one Gypsy family's migration from a small village in Hungary to Bolton England. Their promising start was set back by the growing world economic crisis. In spite of that, they are happy to stay in England, the children are thriving, and the family has even gained a new member: their fourth child was born in the summer of 2009.
