Content
Drago Ritter, a Balkan musician from Croatia, moved 17 years ago to a German housing estate where lots of children lived. At first none of the neighbours wants anything to do with him, a gypsy with six children. Only a fair-haired German fitness trainer has a big heart, opens her door and invites him and his family for coffee. This irritates the other neighbours but, at the same time, it also makes them curious. Today the neighbours can no longer imagine a private celebration without Drago and his virtuoso Balkan guitar.

Excerpt from the jury’s statement
High-paced, entertaining – allows the people themselves to have their say. High quality radio.
