1997 film by Denis Chouinard

A fable unfolds. One summer day, a boy of about ten appears on the streets of Nice - no family, no possessions, no schooling, but with a brilliant smile. Mondo's most at home in gardens, fields, and at the seashore. The bustle of the city can seem to overwhelm him. He has good survival instincts, running from police and from threatening adults, and he is looking for a family. Over time, people come to know him - he helps out a street magician, befriends an old man who keeps doves in his suitcase, and finds a mother, herself an outsider. That smile is always at hand. Yet, no vagabond child sits well with the authorities. Can Nice keep this treasure of the spirit?

專門研究種族音樂的法國浪人，因為一盒錄音上的一把獨特歌聲，來到羅馬尼亞一條吉蔔塞人鄉村，希望能找尋得到那位女歌手。然而其目標隨著在鄉村遇上不同的人、碰上不同的事，不知不覺起了變化。沿途風光明媚，有笑有淚，乍喜乍悲，有吉蔔塞人血統的導演東尼加列夫個人自編自導，更包辦監製和配樂，以流麗的影像和動人的聲音，加上一群非職業演員，譜出一段觸動觀眾靈魂的旅程，乃其「吉蔔塞三部曲」的終章，也被認為是他的最佳作品。 (資料來源︰ )
