Gypsy Summer offre uno sguardo nella vita di una famiglia gitana che ogni giorno ripulisce la spiaggia prima dell'arrivo dei turisti. Tra i rifiuti e la durezza della loro vita, trovano comunque un modo di vedere la bellezza dell'alba e godersi questa "vita, questa breve vita".
Gypsy Summer is a glimpse into the life of a gypsy family who clean up the beach every morning before the tourists arrive. Among the trash and hardship of their life, they still find a way to see the beauty of the sunrise and enjoy this "life, short life".
