The village of Karácsonyfalva in legendary Transylvania is the center of the Gabor gypsies. Over 1000 live there. The men wear large black hats, the women long colored skirts. Sealed off from the world they have been defending their values and rituals for over 500 years. Their most important event is the wedding – it is the basis of their community. We follow Mundras' and Bobbis' marriage and also meet some other Gabor families.
