This play examines the role of international adoption in the cultural genocide of the Roma (Gypsy) people. Two Canadian women trace parallel routes in Romania: Grace is desperately trying to adopt a baby while Esme searches for her birth mother. Their lives intersect with a Roma family struggling for their survival in the post-communist revolution.
