Bango Vassil, otherwise known as Roma New Year, is celebrated every year by the Romani people on the 14th January in Bulgaria. In this short animation, an argument over biscuits breaks out between a young Romani girl and non-Romani boy on a chilly Bango Vassil and they find themselves adrift on an ice float in a river with no way of getting home. Realising they must work together, the children find they may have more in common than they first realized – and maybe there is somebody out there who can help them on their journey of survival. A sweet fable of friendship and understanding across cultures that can open up universal conversations between young people.
