Synopsis
The House of Gods is a documentary that, with rare intimacy and respectful distance, opens a window into the life of a Roma family in Slovenia. Yet this is not a “Roma film” — it is a story for anyone who has ever found themselves caught between the expectations of others and the stirrings of their own heart.

The House of Gods is a documentary that, with rare intimacy and respectful distance, opens a window into the life of a Roma family in Slovenia. Yet this is not a “Roma film” — it is a story for anyone who has ever found themselves caught between the expectations of others and the stirrings of their own heart. Mišo struggles to step into the role of husband and father, while his wife Mirsada carries strong expectations — including those of faith. His mother Vladica searches for solace and hope in a new religion, while his father Janez remains quietly true to himself. Generational and spiritual currents weave through the fabric of daily life, where nothing is spectacular — and yet everything matters. Told through an observational lens, the film refrains from explanation or judgment. In gentle, quiet moments, it invites reflection on coexistence, emotional growth, and the subtle transformations sparked by love, faith, hope, and fear. The House of Gods is a film about the human search for meaning — confined within four walls, yet universally understood.
Director
Director's statement
As an observer, I captured only a fragment of life — where faith, doubt, and quiet expectations intertwine with the everyday. It is not an explanation, but an open space. A film that does not judge, but listens. And lets each viewer hear something of their own within it.

Portret romske družine iz vasi Pušča v Prekmurju v njihovem domačem prostoru je mogoč le tako, da ga dela nekdo, ki ga družina pusti blizu. Avtor in režiser je družino spoznal že pri prejšnjem projektu, zdaj pa namerava to prednost izkoristiti za dokumentarec z zelo preprostim, a pomembnim poslanstvom: razkriti, kaj skupnost povezuje in kako svojo individualnost v njej uveljavljajo posamezniki. Pri tem se zanaša na pristnost odnosov, ki jih je že stkal, in iskrenost, ki jo delijo z njim. Dogajanje bodo usmerjali posamezni liki, avtor in posledično film pa ostajata socialno občutljiva, a hkrati brezkompromisno nevtralna do vsakovrstnih odstopanj. Končna skupna misija vzpona na Triglav naj bi članom simbolno podelila status Slovencev, vendar komisija ni prepričana, če je ta pečat na koncu sploh potreben v tako polnopomenskem filmu.
