Стефан очень хотел найти певицу, голос которой он когда-то услышал на кассетной записи. Ее любил покойный отец главного героя. Единственное, что знает француз, так это имя исполнительницы. С таким ограниченным запасом информации мужчина едет в Румынию. Здесь несколько месяцев ему доведется прожить в маленькой деревне. Он познакомится с Изодором, местным пожилым цыганом. На чужбине Стефан отыщет для себя нечто дорогое и очень ценное.
A dark and claustrophobic film, this brutal, tragic, gut-wrenching drama is set almost totally within the confines of a ship's cargo container that is only 25 square meters in size. It is the grim story of six ill-fated refugees trying to get to Canada from a port in France. The police are in hot pursuit when the septet of strangers are stowed away in the huge metal box. The refugees -- two men, two women and two children -- are of various backgrounds including Gypsy, Russian and Arab. The first of many problems occurs when a mother and daughter arrive with no food (they lost it during a chase). The one Russian refugee, Roman, declares that they should not be allowed to board the ship, but the other three refugees allow them in. Their ordeal begins when the ship breaks down in Liverpool.
Mondo, a young orphaned gypsy, finds himself in France, where he scouts out potential foster families, evades the police and meets an assortment of eccentric people. In his travels, Mondo first encounters a magician who takes on the boy as an assistant. Then he moves on again, eventually befriending Dadi, a street-smart vagrant, and Giordan, a wise fisherman. All the while, the boy keeps an eye out for would-be parents.
