Synopsis:

An Italian woman intent on tracking down the Romany musician who impregnated her becomes lost in a world of Gypsies in director Tony Gatlif's meditative road drama. Convinced that her one-time lover Milan (Marco Castoldi) has been deported by French authorities and determined to let him know about his unborn child, Zingarina (Asia Argento), travels to Romania in the company of her motherly friend Marie (Amira Casar) in hopes of seeking out the elusive musician. Though Zingarina does eventually track Milan to a remote village festival, the rejection she is faced with soon drives the troubled mother-to-be to ditch her friend Marie during the trip back to France. Now wandering the Romanian countryside as her future grows ever more bleak, Zingarina enters into a tentative romance with itinerant trader Tchangalo (Birol Ünel), whose gruff exterior masks a sensual inner beauty.

Zingarina is not a gypsy, but a rebel. She leaves for Transylvania with her friend, Marie in search of the man of her dreams. Marie never lets Zingarina alone, because she knows she is capable of anything. Imagine it, and Zingarina has done it. At a festival, Zingarina meets the man of her dreams. Yet in the noisy atmosphere of the festival, she discovers that she is all alone in the world, once again without love, without anything to guide her, or anything to hold on to.

A young Italian woman, Zingarina, sets off to Transylvania with her friend Marie in search of a Romany musician she is in love with and whose child she is expecting. When he rejects her she disguises herself as a gypsy and wanders about the countryside where she meets itinerant trader Tchangalo.
