IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Image Entertainment)
A shell shocked new recruit attacks and partially blinds his commanding officer, then deserts into the nearby forest. He takes up with a group of gypsies, disgutising himself as a girl. His real identity (and gender) is soon discovered by the daughter of the gypsy leader. She gets pregnant, leading to misery for all. The blinded officer eventually shows up to get his revenge, leading to desperate measures by the gypsies. Unpleasant distraction by first time director Bob Hoskins, who apparently drew upon gypsy stories told to him by his grandmother.
