The film Dajori (which means mother in Romani) tells the story of the main character Marie (45), a mother of three children who lives an ordinary life in a block of flats in Varnsdorf with her husband Enrico (50). For a long time now, Varnsdorf has been classified as an area whose population is threatened by poverty and social exclusion. Marie assumes the role of the female head of her extended family and decides to help her younger sister Iveta who has became homeless with her nine children. Two-year-old Anabel and nine-year-old Samuel end up being fostered by Marie and Enrico. In the next three years, the film follows the dynamics of the new family and Marie's efforts to provide the traumatized children with motherly love while at the same time raising them according to her ideals...
