Babys Returns, Babys Escapes
This observational documentary follows the protagonist from his 16 to 20 years of age as he unsuccessfully tries to find his place within his family and the society; the film also captures life in an East Slovak Roma settlement. At the beginning, Babys runs away from a youth correctional facility off Bratislava to his grandmother who lives in a settlement on the other side of the country. He starts dating an older woman, Alena, who has several children and a husband currently in prison. Fearing the consequences, Alena's brothers drive him away and Babys returns back to the correctional facility. While he is impatient to get out and serves his apprenticeship, the settlement residents live in a routine monotony; except for Alena's pregnancy with an unknown man's child. After finally reaching adulthood, Babys goes back to the settlement but his return immediately flares up another conflict. This time he flees to Ireland.
