Synopsis

Djam, a Greek girl, is sent to Istanbul on a mission to find a motor-boat part of her uncle, a former sailor and great fan of the Greek musical style rebetiko. In the city, she meets Avril, a French woman who works as a volunteer with refugees but who has run out of money and not known in Turkey. Generous, fearless and unpredictable, Djam leaves with Avril to Mytilene - a journey of music and encounters.

Tony Gatlif

Actor, writer, director and producer, Tony Gatlif goes around the circle of creation under the sign of the gipsy culture, seduced by a mobile community and by a very rich and diverse sound and musical universe. He has directed more than twenty films during his career and received four awards, among them two Césars for Best Soundtrack for Vengo and Gadjo Dilo.
