DESCRIPTION

The dying father of Stéphane, a young Frenchman from Paris, listened to Nora Luca’s voice before he died. Stéphane wants to meet the singer who is so important to his father, and in search of her he travels to Romania. He doesn’t expect to find much more than a voice, played from a cassette. Wandering along empty, frozen roads, he meets Isidore, who takes him to his village. The initial distrust between Stéphane and the Roma community turns into sympathy and after a few months of living among the Roma and waiting to meet Nora Luca the boy and Sabina fall in love with each other. Romain Duris and Rona Hartner (Stéphane and Sabina) are the only pair of professional actors in the movie.
