A cliche robbery of a young American tourist by a gypsy on the Champs Elysees surprises us as it takes a darker turn into the journey of a gypsy thief in the Paris banlieues. It is equally a beautiful story on serendipity and happenstance, the randomness of life, appointments met, appointments missed. There are two tales: the eternal Parisian romance that is embodied by Mathieu and Lily in the old patisserie and the post-new wave anti-romance - with Nadya and the Romas in the banlieue. One storyline is more fairy-tale with its nostalgia, the other grittier, more underworld, a very different Paris, le Paris d'aujourd'hui.
