Flames of God

The documentary tells the story of an aging Macedonian Roma poet/songwriter and the struggles presented in his life-long endeavor to compile and publish a dictionary of the Romani language. The film takes us in to his smoke and family-filled, one-room apartment in Šutka, Skopje, Macedonia, where he finds inspiration to write songs and sell them to famous local folk singers; and escorts us to France, where he is invited to read his poetry to an audience of European intellectuals.
