Joymakers explores the musical mastery of Roma trumpet players in Serbia and reveals that, behind the dynamic melodies, lies a difficult life and struggle for survival. At the heart of the story is Milan Nikolić, a continuator of the important mission of teacher Maskut Maskotović – to teach Roma children to play correctly and preserve their health. The encounter of American professor, Nada Miljković, with Milan, provides us with an authentic and emotional insight into their lives.
