Director: Tony Gatlif

A Gypsy family travels the roads of France during the Second World War, followed by Little Claude
(Mathias Laliberté), a young boy in search of a new family after his parents “left and never returned”. Reaching a
town where they traditionally stop for a few months and work in the vineyards, they learn that the identity controls
imposed by the Vichy Regime have been tightened and they no longer have the right to travel freely. Théodore
(Marc Lavoine), the town mayor and Mademoiselle Lundi (Marie-Josée Croze) help them settle down.
Little Claude is increasingly fascinated by the Bohemians’ way of life - a world of freedom where children are kings.
But joy and the carefree life don’t last long: the pressure from the Vichy police intensifies and the threat of danger is
constant. Just as they have done for hundreds of years, the Gypsies must once again set off along the road.
A breathtaking soundtrack, combining beautifully with the images... Amazing cinema on a subject that is still current.
