Zuid-Frankrijk. Een bloedhete augustusmaand. De jonge sociale opvoedster Geronimo probeert de gespannen sfeer tussen de jongeren van de Saint-Pierre wijk tot bedaren te brengen. Alles verandert echter drastisch wanneer Nil Terzi, een tienermeisje van Turkse afkomst, haar gedwongen huwelijk ontvlucht met haar geliefde Lucky Molina, een jonge zigeuner. Hun vlucht leidt tot een confrontatie tussen de twee clans en wanneer alles escaleert, zal Geronimo hemel en aarde bewegen om de waanzin in de wijk te stoppen. (Contact Film)

The summary made this movie seem interesting. In reality, you see Turks fighting the Romani people and often it is unclear who is who. The result is a movie chock-full of Balkan temper, which I had a hard time swallowing. For example take Céline Sallette’s character – an investigator who spends the whole movie walking around as if she owned the place, while I was thinking that she should mind her own business. Because if she doesn’t, she shouldn’t be surprised that things get messy. I must say that in certain places, the film seemed quite violent and aggressive to me… too much so. Both the Romani and Turks and the music contributed to this impression. The setting could have been quite interesting, but people kept starting to dance or move weirdly at random, which threw me totally for a loop and I was waiting for this madness to end.
