Well until the 1980s mixed marriages in Roma communities were taboo. However, there was a myth of a black man and a white woman. Božidar and Suzana are the first to bring this myth into reality, standing against tradition and fighting for their love. After this case, marriages between Roma and others became more and more common and accepted. Božidar has started his role as revolutionary in the Roma community well before meeting Suzana. As a sixteen-year-old, he performed a cult role in the play “Kulaj”, which raises a voice against arranged marriage, which were a common part of Roma tradition. The play takes place in Novo Miloševo in the 1980s.
