From Forest to Home - History of the Sherwood Homeless Community
A young reporter follows the life of a homeless group 7 years long. The group lives near Budapest in a forest.
These homeless people call themselves their living place Sherwood, for mockery and also for love. This homeless community built quite cozy huts, cottages and established a liveable in the forest. Some found also work and lived by standards and norms which are accepted in society.
There is in the middle of the story a couple: János Csorba and Erika. János is a community activist, takes responsibility for the community, is a main organizer and leader. After Erika died, he suffers a lot from his loss and has to experience the collapse of the community. Although he finally gets a social flat, he never can live in. 20 years homeless life has its negative impact… János Csorba dies at age 47.
