GADJO DILO

Stephane, a young Parisian, arrives in Bucharest's north station in the middle of winter. There is a mysterious woman's chant that he makes people listen to wherever he goes. His obsessive quest takes him to Valachie, deep into the heart of the land of a tormented people, the Lautaris, "gypsy musicians". Old Isidor is his ferry-man, the one who will allow him to gradually enter this chaotic world, both picturesque and violent, amusing and harsh. Stephane adapts to the rhythm of life on this screaming planet of mud and mudness, where contempt and xenophobia lurk. Among the Valachie gypsies, Stephane, the gadjo (foreigner) from Paris, will find his place, without losing the thread of his obsession; the gypsy chant which he has to find again. He is only a visitor, a passer-by who will be enriched by his journey.
