Gypo (DVD)

British drama documenting the breakdown of a working class family when the teenage daughter befriends a refugee girl. Helen (Pauline McLynn) has been married to Paul (Paul McGann) for 25 years. They live a monotonous and frozen existence: Helen is desperate, damaged, and looking for change; while Paul - bitter, hypocritical and bigoted, sick and tired of being in the poverty trap - is on the brink of a breakdown. His biggest fear is change. Into their lives comes Tasha (Chloe Sirene), a Romany Czech refugee, awaiting her British passport and her chance for freedom - a concept taken for granted by all those around her.
