This theatrical monologue unfolds as a realistic story, introducing us to a little-known culture. Written by a duo composed of an actor/storyteller (the director) and a sociologist involved in Gypsy life, it tells of the elderly Djetty, a noble and moving figure who attempts to validate and defend the values of her tribe to the young Gadjo, who wants to learn guitar with his grandson. A living memory of the internment camps, she projects her painful past onto a dramatic present, with the admirable quality of being able to laugh at the bumps along the road.
