Traveling around the world, the Roma did not have a written language, but, they developed a secret way of communicating through visuals signs and symbols. They named this form of communication patrin, and today this coded language belongs to history. Today, many questions in a decades long process of language standardization have been raised. Romani oral literature is becoming increasingly present in written form. Besides the language, the topic of the film is music as a dominant of the Romani way of expression. Its characteristics in Vojvodina have been presented as well. Authors and performes which grew out of the Vojvodina plains have been given a space too.
