Portrait of a girl bride from the Roma culture "Keldelari". These mysterious women live in the village of Korolevo in the Transcarpathian region and are one of the most closed communities in Ukraine. There is a strict law here that women must wear long skirts or dresses. Skirts often have so many layers and padding that they can weigh up to ten kilograms. Girls get married at the age of 12-13 and give birth to children. Their clothes, culture, traditions immerse you in a completely different amazing world.
