Gypsies Are Found Near Heaven (Russian: Табор уходит в небо, romanized: Tabor ukhodit v nebo, lit. "The Gypsy camp goes to heaven"; also known as Queen of the Gypsies) is a 1975 Soviet romantic drama film by Emil Loteanu, loosely based on short stories "Makar Chudra" and "Old Izergil" by Maxim Gorky. Set in early 20th century Austria-Hungary, the film tells a love story between the Roma girl Rada and the horse thief Zobar of Gorky's early 1892 short story "Makar Chudra" (Russian: Макар Чудра). In india this film was released by the name " The Gypsy camp vanishes into the blue." And the heroine Swetlana Toma was looking out the world --enchanting, enigmatic, with ravishing walking gait. Tall beautiful she was really a big surprise find for the audience.
It was the most attended movie in the Soviet Union in 1976, with 64.9 million tickets sold.[1][2]
