Maria & Yesenia

The Romani are an ethnic group living mostly in Europe and the Americas. Romani are widely known in the English-speaking world by the exonym "Gypsies" (or Gipsies) and also as Romany, Romanies, Romanis, Roma or Roms; in their language, Romani, they are known collectively as Romane or Rromane (depending on the dialect).

Romani are widely dispersed. They originated from India and arrived in the Middle East first and then in Europe by the 14th century, either separating from the Dom people or, at least, having a similar history; the ancestors of both the Romani and the Dom left North India sometime between the 6th and 11th century.

Since the 19th century, some Romani have also migrated to the Americas. There are an estimated one million Roma in the United States; and 800,000 in Brazil, most of whose ancestors emigrated in the nineteenth century from eastern Europe. Brazil also includes Romani descended from people deported by the government of Portugal during the Inquisition in the colonial era. In migrations since the late nineteenth century, Romani have also moved to Canada and countries in South America.

Side Note: The mystery girl Maria found in Greece was abandoned by her mother, raised by Roma couple. It might be good for her to return to her Roma parent or better foster family.

Yesenia is a very old love story movie about Gypsy. Yesenia is a beautiful gypsy who lives different situations in an aimlessly fixed way with the company of her caravan. In one of her many trips she meets a military man Oswaldo Moncada and falls in love with him. They will have to prove that their love is stronger than their differences and social prejudice that separate them. One of the opponents of their relationship is Rashay, the patriarch of the gypsies, who opposes the relationship because the military youth does not belong to the Gypsy tribe.

Yesenia is actually a girl born out of wedlock abandoned by her rich family and brough up by a poor gypsy woman. Her birth mother is white. She and her half sister fall in love with the same man. And her half sister can not live longer because of fatal disease. After learned that Yesenia is her sister, the half sister left so that Yesenia and Oswaldo can be together. Yesenia later reunited with her birth mother and the rest of her family.

It is a happy ending movie. Do we always have happy ending in life?
