Movies and TvShows featuring "yenish-people" theme.

Eat Your Bones is a semi-autobiographical drama set in France, following a nomad family living in a trailer home. The family engages in gasoline theft and is constantly running from the police. The protagonist wears a prosthetic eye and is a part of a band of thieves who operate under the disguise of being watchdogs. The story explores themes of ethics, Christianity, poverty, and the release from jail. A baptism scene and bonfire rituals are also depicted. During a heist, things go wrong, and the protagonist finds himself on the run, facing challenges such as a roadblock. The movie delves into the struggles faced by the marginalized Yenish people.

How do you film a minority that prefers to stay invisible, when you belong to the majority? Andreas Müller and Simon Guy Fässler travelled with the Yenish for six years—all over Europe and as far as the Grisons—faithfully and empathetically filming this freedom-loving nomadic community who bear the wounds of the past.
