I first published this review elsewhere on February 07, 2005.
This film is about a young man from France that goes to Rumania in search of a gypsy girl singer he once met. He ends up staying, thanks to an elderly gypsy man whom he befriends, and thus gets acquainted with the multiple aspects of gypsy culture and their social problems; also, he falls in love with a gypsy woman. The thin plot is the least important thing about this film; it is a mere pretext to show how gypsies live. But it is done so competently and with such a warmth of feeling that I couldn't help getting involved.
