THEY CALL ME ONION

"Cipolla" (Onion), as everyone calls him, is actually Jasmin Ramovic. Born in Bosnia, he moved to Rome with his family as a child. For Jasmin and his siblings, his parents and grandparents, cousins, uncles and aunts, nieces and nephews, trailer parks on the outskirts of the city have been home to the Roma family ever since. Jasmin only attended school for a short time. He never really learned to read and write. Today he is a grown man. But in contrast to what is usual in his culture, he is neither a father nor married at the age of 30. Yet his desire to fulfill his parents' expectations and be part of the community of his beloved Rome is great. So great, in fact, that his brokenness in search of himself seems to create a reality of his own.
