Plot

Little Genti wants a puppy. He expresses his wish at the family gathering, after his Roma coeval Xeni shows at the door, with his stray dog friend Aaj. This brings up a fired up discussion among the grown ups. After a quick disapproval, discussion changes its path into a clash of generations, conflict between traditional beliefs and new contemporary way of life. Ignored by grownups and despite his mother's disapproval, Genti joins Xeni and Aja on the street, continuing to find his new puppy-friend.

This is a very simple story, yet it reveals many complexities of our society, identifying them through characters’ way of communication, struggling to filter and convey their experiences and beliefs. 'FENCE' is not about the customs or the traditions; they are there and they are present on screen, but they are not the issue. The issues are within the characters, their relationships, and the drama. In that sense, it doesn’t matter where they come from, because being a daughter, mother, wife, or any part of a family dynamic is a universal topic that happens everywhere, to everyone.
