These mysterious Roma live in the village of Korolevo in Podvinogradovo, Transcarpathian region, and are one of the most closed communities in Ukraine. There is a strict law here that women must wear long skirts or dresses. Skirts are often made up of so many layers and padding that they can weigh up to ten kilograms. Girls get married at 12-13 years old and have children. Their clothes, culture, traditions immerse you in a completely different amazing world.
