โœฆ Synopsis


Set in the 1980s, Jenny, 15 years old, feisty and rebellious, runs away from Rushbrooke Manor children's home. She is rescued from near death by some gypsies, who take her back to their horse-drawn caravan and hide her from the police. She left behind Dan, her boyfriend; and Matron, who ran the home, not caring about the consequences her actions have caused. Jenny soon finds that the nomadic way of life also has strict rules and moral codes, and Peter, the good-looking son of the camp leader, all too quick to point out her mistakes. Rebecca, the old fortune-teller, frightens her. What was the reason? Could she really see into the future? During the hard life on the road, Jenny comes to realise that no one can avoid his or her destiny.
