Cannes Film Festival 2006 - Transylvania

The Cannes Film Festival will close its screenings with a showing of Transylvania. Directed by Tony Gatlif (who also appeared at Cannes in 2004 for Exils), the French film's synopsis states: "Despite appearances, Zingarina isn't a Gypsy. She's a young rebellious woman. She goes off with her friend Marie to Transylvania in search of the man she loves. During the surrealistic pagan festival devoted to Herod, Zingarina is finally reunited with the man she loves. In the madness, the noise, the music, the drunkenness of the celebrations, she learns that she's alone in the world, once again with love, and now without any point of reference. No bearings, no mooring.

"She evades her friend Marie, a connection to her past, to find a rebirth down another road with another man, Tchango, an enigmatic character, free, with no borders nor house, a man who speaks several languages with his own particular accent."
