A young Romani detective investigates a murder in a Croatian-Romani community. All her values are deeply challenged and she will have to choose between her integrity and the peace in the community.
ROKSANA is a young and ambitious detective of Romani origin who is building her career as an expert for minority and integration issues. Her first field assignment: a series of retaliations in a village populated by Croatians and Romanis. A brutal double homicide and a leaked YouTube video later, the case transforms into a media frenzy and pushes the small community to the brink of explosion. Roksana relentlessly pursues the investigation, as both the police and the locals turn their backs on her. With the case unfolding, she discovers that the racial intolerance is only the cover up for a much more abhorrent crime involving the pillars of the local community. Roksana’s private and professional values are challenged by the events, and it ultimately forces her to choose between her integrity, the system she represents and destroying the community.
