Synopsis
After graduation from conservatory, music professor Marcela (Sofia Rotaru) teaches music in a village music school in Moldova. As a main solo vocal she is invited to join a musical vocal instrumental ensemble, which is being directed by astronomer Viktor. The first rehearsal takes place in the astronomic star observatory tower and that's where Viktor falls in love with Marcela. Andrei also has his idea about Marcela as he cheerly appreciates her first performance with their band. Marcela returns home to the village, where her local admirer waits for her next to her house door. The rehearsals lead to an invitation to perform on a cruise ship in the Black Sea. As the relationship with Viktor staggers, Andrei manages to approach Marcela. Love, artistic successes, and, as the genre requires, a victory at an international song festival are awaiting Marcela.Actors

L'action se déroule en Bessarabie au XIX siècle, alors que ce pays moldave était sous la domination des Tzars. Toma Alistar (joué par Sergiu Lunchevici) est le chef d'un taraf (orchestre populaire) de lăutaris ("trouvères" en roumain). Le nom de Toma Alistar est inspiré par la rue Toma Stelian, où se trouve l'ambassade d'URSS à Bucarest, où la mère d'Emil Loteanu travaillait, et où il a passé son enfance : Alistar et Stelian évoquent l'« étoile ». Le personnage d'Alistar est stellaire (sa passion pour la musique, son talent unanimement reconnu), solaire (son humour, sa joie de vivre, son énergie) et lunaire (sa déchirure intime, depuis sa prime jeunesse, où il fut séparé de son grand amour, Leanca, une jeune Rom jouée par Olga Câmpeanu… amour intense mais empêché parce qu'elle était Rom, et lui gadjo c'est-à-dire non-Rom ; en jouant du violon -jusqu'à Vienne devant l'empereur d'Autriche- Alistar ne cesse de rechercher Leanca).

The conceptual base are the poetic monologues read by Sofia Rotaru playing herself, singer. The monologues were read by Sofia Rotaru in Russian, whereas their author, G. Vieru, has supposedly wrote them in Moldavian beforehand. In between the monologues, adapted music videos appear in all different kinds of scenery from Kazakh desert to Bukovinian rich green villages, passing by beautiful Crimean Black Sea and Lithuanian Baltic Sea shorelines. Sofia Rotaru performs personally in the movie without double stunt performers, namely the role of windsurfer in love, singing the song "Amor" in Moldavian language.
