Spartacus Cassandra

When I was one year old I was already walking At two I was eating dirt At three my father was in prison At four I begged with my sister At seven I came to France Those are the words of Spartacus a Roma child who at 13 has already accumulated the experiences of several lifetimes He and his sister Cassandre 10 scrape out a living with an alcoholic melodramatic father and a mother who begs them to free her from her husbands tyranny With the help of an exceptional social worker they manage to detach themselves from their terrible parents and experience childhood as they never could before
