Synopsis

À Tunis, quelques mois avant la révolution, Farah, une fille de 18 ans de la jeunesse tunisienne branchée, croque la vie à pleine dents, boit de l'alcool et fait la fête avec ses amis. Elle chante dans un groupe de musique arabo-rock qui ne renonce pas à diffuser des messages politiques dans ses morceaux et où Bohrène, son amoureux, joue du oud. Hayet, la mère de Farah, qui a elle-même enterré sa jeunesse contestataire, n'adhère pas à ses écarts de conduite, s'inquiète pour elle et préfèrerait voir sa fille, très bonne élève de lycée, embrasser une carrière de médecin. La musique du groupe enthousiasme et fait danser les plus jeunes dans les bars, mais déplaît aux hommes les plus conservateurs et aux services de surveillance des citoyens.

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.

At a loading dock in Cleveland, Ohio in 1937, supervisor Mr. Gant welcomes a new worker, Lincoln Dombrowsky (Frank McRae). Gant tells him the job requirements and pay rules. He'll be paid for working 8 hours and if he has to work overtime, he still gets paid only for 8 hours. If he drops any of the merchandise, the cost comes directly out of his pay. These are examples of unfair working practices faced by the laborers. Later Dombrowsky drops a few carts of tomatoes, which is taken out of his pay; another worker is fired for helping him collect the fallen merchandise. Johnny Kovak (Sylvester Stallone), another worker resentful of mistreatment, leads a riot. Afterward, the workers go to the office of Boss Andrews. Kovak believes he negotiates a deal for the workers, but the next day he and his friend Abe Belkin (David Huffman) are told they are fired.
