Pongo started his activism in 2018, when he called on Romani to post photos of themselves at work on social media. He was reacting to racist statements by President Miloš Zeman, according to whom the vast majority of Romani people do not work. Thousands of people responded to his call. Since then, he has organized a demonstration in Brussels, delivered humanitarian aid to settlements in eastern Slovakia, and filmed vlogs in which he deftly addressed topics related to Romani people. This documentary captures Pongo’s enthusiasm and his clashes with his hot-blooded wife, who has her own ideas about the compatibility of her husband’s activities with family life.
