At Christmas, within Roma communities families, nothing is done halfway.

Whether settled in permanent homes, living in caravans, or organizing large gatherings to welcome extended family — often travelling from Spain — each household prepares Christmas in its own way. Fairy lights, decorations, carefully set tables: everything gradually comes together.

Sarah and Raphaël are settled in a house. Parents of four children aged 16 to 5, they aim to create a truly magical Christmas for their family.

Eva and Brandon live in caravans. Eva decorates her three caravans with garlands, helped by her teenage children, to create a festive atmosphere.

A third family is preparing to host a very large gathering for an XXL-style Christmas.

The days leading up to the celebration are filled with decorating, organizing space, and preparing traditional dishes such as turkey, appetizers, and salmon.

Christmas morning is just as important: breakfast is shared, followed by the opening of presents. In these families, children are treated like kings.
Will this Christmas live up to their dreams?
