Synopsis

Employé d'une agence de voyages à Paris, Jean-Arthur Bonaventure et son collègue « Gros-Nono » Dupoirier échafaudent un projet inattendu de séjour touristique : « Robinson, démerde toi – 3000 F, rien compris », c'est-à-dire l'occasion pour chaque client de revivre sur une île déserte l'expérience de Robinson Crusoé. La direction est enthousiaste et très vite, Jean-Arthur accompagné de « Petit-Nono », le frère de Gros-Nono, s’envolent pour les Antilles afin de préparer l’arrivée des premiers vacanciers. Le voyage, guère organisé, tourne bientôt à la déconfiture.

Le temps des vacances, trois jeunes filles s’échappent de leurs soucis parisiens pour passer le mois de septembre à Orouët sur la Côte de lumière (côte vendéenne). Une petite maison, une longue plage déserte et au milieu, Joëlle, Karine et Caroline qui débordent d’enthousiasme et de vitalité. Chaque jour réserve son lot de joies simples et de fous rires malicieux, de surprises aussi anodines que réjouissantes, de rencontres éphémères mais chargées d'émotions, à l’image de Gilbert (Bernard Ménez), un chef de bureau un peu benêt, qui débarque en sabots au milieu du trio.

Bernard Milan, the second-in-command of France's Counter-Espionage department, is out to discredit his chief Louis Toulouse so that he can supplant him. When a French heroin smuggler who has been arrested in New York claims that the drug smuggling was a secret mission on the orders of French Counter-Espionage (actually on Milan's orders), the resulting bad press reflects on Toulouse, who cannot prove that Milan was responsible. In retaliation, Toulouse hatches a plot to deal with his ambitious subordinate: in a room which he knows is filled with hidden microphones, he sends his assistant Perrache to Orly airport at 9:30AM the next morning, making Milan (who has been listening) believe that Perrache has gone to meet a master spy who will expose Milan's treachery. However, Toulouse secretly instructs Perrache to choose someone at random from the crowd of travelers arriving at that time.

Dans une banlieue de Strasbourg, on suit le chemin d'un petit garçon, Max, qui lors de ses vacances d'été fera une merveilleuse rencontre avec la musique et l'amour. En effet, il suit le rythme énergique de Swing, une jeune Manouche aux allures de garçon manqué, qui lui fait découvrir sa communauté (leur mode de vie, leurs traditions, leurs origines, leur liberté...). Fasciné par les musiciens manouches, Max prend des cours de guitare avec l'un d'eux, Miraldo (inspiré et interprété par un des plus grands guitaristes de jazz manouche, Tchavolo Schmitt), qui est un génie de la musique. Entre de nombreux, forts et entraînants moments musicaux (chants, danse, musique...), le jeune garçon tombe peu à peu amoureux de son amie Swing. Mais ses vacances se terminent et sa condition de jeune écolier gadjo (terme rom désignant ceux qui ne sont pas de cette ethnie comme dans Gadjo Dilo) le rattrape.

Le chanteur Goopy et le percussionniste Bagha, tous deux chassés de leurs villages respectifs à cause de leurs horribles prestations, font connaissance dans la forêt. Là, ils rencontrent le roi des fantômes, qui content d'eux leur accorde trois vœux. Pour les rendre effectifs, ils doivent en même temps prononcer leur souhait et se frapper la main mutuellement. Munis du pouvoir d'obtenir de la nourriture par magie, de chaussures qui les emmènent instantanément là où ils veulent et surtout d'une merveilleuse habileté au chant et aux percussions, nos deux héros entament un périple fantastique qui les mène à la Cour d'un roi dont ils gagnent les faveurs en remportant un tournoi musical. Ils parviendront à empêcher le déclenchement d'une guerre imminente entre les États voisins de Shundi et Halla, pourtant dirigés par deux frères, mais dont l'un est sous l'influence néfaste d'un magicien qui a du reste également ensorcelé toute la population en la rendant muette. De fil en aiguille, grâce à leur habileté, les deux héros vont combattre les forces du mal et rétablir l'harmonie entre les frères et les royaumes, obtenant même de chacun la main d'une princesse.

Though a talented musician, Ray's personal life is a shambles. He is a spendthrift, womanizer and pimp who believes that falling in love will ruin his musical career. Due to his heavy drinking, he's often late or even absent for performances with his quintet. After music, his favorite hobby is shooting rats at garbage dumps. Ray idolizes famed guitarist Django Reinhardt, and is said to have fainted in his presence and to have fled a nightclub performance with severe stage fright upon hearing a false rumor that Reinhardt was in the audience.
