A Romani (Gypsy) family travels the roads of Vichy France during World War II, followed by Little Claude, an orphan seeking a new family. Upon reaching a town where they traditionally stop for a few months and work in vineyards, they learn that a new law forbids them from being nomadic. The town's mayor and schoolteacher try to protect the Romani by giving them a place to live, but their deeply ingrained thirst for freedom makes this sedentary lifestyle difficult to bear. The film, based on historical events, is one of the few to deal with the Porajmos—the Nazi plan to exterminate the Romani people.
