Set in Wallachia of the early 19th century, when a local policeman, Costandin, is hired by Iordache, a boyar, to find Carfin, a Gypsy slave who had run away from the boyar's estate after having an affair with his wife, Sultana. Costandin sets out to find the fugitive, beginning a journey full of adventures. Gypsy slavery lasted from the 13th century up until the end of the 19th century, a phenomenon which is very little known and almost nonexistent in the public debate today, although its impact continues to influence Romania's social life.
