He is looking for the singer Nora Luca, whom his father had heard all the time before his death. Wandering along a frozen road, he meets old Izidor, a Rom, and tries to tell him of Nora Luca. Drunken Izidor only hears the handful of Romany words and takes Stéphane to his village, determined to teach the boy the Romany language. Stéphane believes that Izidor will take him to Nora Luca when the time has come, so he lives in the Roma village for several months in Izidor's house. Watch the movie to see what happens after.
