WINNER - 2009 Montreal World Film Festival
Grand Prize of the Americas Award, Audience Award & Special Mention from Ecumenical Jury


The multi-award winning new film from Tony Gatlif is an historical drama based on real-life stories of gypsies rounded up in the German-occupied France of 1943.

A Gypsy family travels the French roads during the Second World War. Upon reaching a town where they traditionally stop for a few months and work in vineyards, they learn that a new law forbids them from being nomadic. Moved by their situation, the town's mayor, and the schoolteacher, help the gypsies find some land where they must settle. But, just as it has for hundreds of years, the Gypsies' deeply ingrained thirst for freedom makes this sedentary lifestyle difficult to bear...

Gatlif's depiction of the 'gypsy soul' has never been more visceral – and as usual, music infuses the film with meaning. This magnificent paean to the mad ecstasy of freedom is his best achievement so far.
