Transylvania
Synopsis
It’s the story of Zingarina (Asia Argento), a rebel Italian girl who goes to Transylvania with her best friend Marie (Amira Casar) and a young interpreter, Luminita (Alexandra Beaujard) seeking for her enamoured one Milan Agustin (Morgan), who was been expelled from France, the country where they had known each other and fallen in love; but she knows he’s a road-musician and works in a gipsy violinist Band. Zingarina refinds him, during a Pagan Festival (Herod’s Feast); but, he says to her that their love-story is over. This girl, angry and deluded, doesn’t want to come back to France and, during her senseless travel through the boulevards and the villages of this mysterious and friendly land, she meets Tchangalo (Birol Unel), a charming and travelling merchant of a Turkish descent, between them there’s a strange feeling… This should be the story, a passion and love story like any other… However, being in reality a road-movie (as a footage), the protagonistes are: the pressing music and a suggestive location. It’s Transylvania with all its contrasts and paradoxes: the magic and the rough reality, the mystery and the simplicity, the exorcisms and the pagan traditions, the spirituality and the “Herod’s Carnaval”, some long silences and the unchained gipsy dances, the medieval suburbs and the very modern industrial sites, a somber snowy scenery but full of extravagant personages and a colorful Folklore… At the end, Zingarina is conquered by this enormous “Global Circus” and she understands that it is her world…
