: The film highlights the systemic demonization of the Romani people. It flips the narrative by showing Stéphane as the "outsider" who must earn trust and overcome his own lack of understanding.
: Unlike many films where the "civilized" person changes the "primitive" world, Stéphane is the one who is changed and eventually assimilated into the Roma way of life. Critical Reception
