What does Zita say?
Ever since seeing this movie it has been driving me crazy? What does the little girl, Zita, say when the film maker asks her why she's sad? Anyone that can translate?

Basically she sad, that don't understand here question and asked many times - What have you asked me, last time?
shareShe is actually NOT sad.
She replied to her question saying yes but what she said later is that she didn't understand the question in the 1st place.
That was actually some lazy filmaking cause i felt like she was trying to portray how sad the whole gypsy community and their lives are but the scene with the little girl was a simple case of miscommunication.
The sad part of that interaction was that they are speaking a very similar language and can't understand each other. The Czech girl is speaking broken Russian and the gypsy girl is speaking in a dialect of Ukraine know for that region. I dont blame the women though, they butcher the language in those parts, even Ukrainian people that speak Ukrainian have a hard time understanding it.
