A young Frenchman goes to Romania searching for a female singer of whom his deceased father had a cassette. He finishes by being adopted by a local gypsy community after a first moment of rejection by some of its members. After a certain time he integrates himself very well in the community. This movie gives a vivid and realistic description of gypsies customs and cultural background. The music is simply fabulous and it has moments of anthology like the one for instance when a musical farewell is performed in a cemetery before the grave a musician. But the movie is not only about folklore but also about violent racism that falls at a given moment upon that gypsy community.
