I avoided as much as possible watching the UEFA 2012 tournament, but pretty much against my will I was stuck in front of a TV set for the most part of the final (from the rest, I didn’t see even a total of five minutes). I saw all the goals and the final score, and what can I say, remembering the times when I used to be into football, a 4-0 is humiliating for the Italian team, Spain made them look like little girls… like the girl below would have been a valuable addition of their team.

The cart hood is a plastic from the Carrefour supermarkets commercials and it says (in Romanian) “for a better life” (“pentru o viața mai bună”). The cart is emblematic, since the gipsies here are nomads, they travel the land using those (and have a real house inside).

This is a story about making horseshoes, it happens in a common Romanian village, at its side, in the part inhabited by the gipsy community.

Is about taking the raw steel and with the help of the fire, just like the ancient god Vulcan, and making it into shapes.

The hero is no god, but a simple, humble man:

Still, he has the power over the fire and steel

And this is how horseshoes are made.
