À Tunis, quelques mois avant la révolution, Farah, une fille de 18 ans de la jeunesse tunisienne branchée, croque la vie à pleine dents, boit de l'alcool et fait la fête avec ses amis. Elle chante dans un groupe de musique arabo-rock qui ne renonce pas à diffuser des messages politiques dans ses morceaux et où Bohrène, son amoureux, joue du oud. Hayet, la mère de Farah, qui a elle-même enterré sa jeunesse contestataire, n'adhère pas à ses écarts de conduite, s'inquiète pour elle et préfèrerait voir sa fille, très bonne élève de lycée, embrasser une carrière de médecin. La musique du groupe enthousiasme et fait danser les plus jeunes dans les bars, mais déplaît aux hommes les plus conservateurs et aux services de surveillance des citoyens.

A film about a community of Upper Egypt residents living in El Gezira (the Island). They have their own set of rules, ethics and traditions. But they also plant drugs and buy arms from Sudan. The officer in charge of the region turns a blind eye to these happenings, and in the beginning, the government takes no heed of the Island. At the start of the film, we witness the death of the old 'Kabir el Gezira' (the island's ruler), leaving the land to his son Mansour. The first half follows Mansour as he takes control of his land and must deal with a band of other drug lords who are greedy to take control of the island. The second half of the film deals with the political conflict.

Dans une banlieue de Strasbourg, on suit le chemin d'un petit garçon, Max, qui lors de ses vacances d'été fera une merveilleuse rencontre avec la musique et l'amour. En effet, il suit le rythme énergique de Swing, une jeune Manouche aux allures de garçon manqué, qui lui fait découvrir sa communauté (leur mode de vie, leurs traditions, leurs origines, leur liberté...). Fasciné par les musiciens manouches, Max prend des cours de guitare avec l'un d'eux, Miraldo (inspiré et interprété par un des plus grands guitaristes de jazz manouche, Tchavolo Schmitt), qui est un génie de la musique. Entre de nombreux, forts et entraînants moments musicaux (chants, danse, musique...), le jeune garçon tombe peu à peu amoureux de son amie Swing. Mais ses vacances se terminent et sa condition de jeune écolier gadjo (terme rom désignant ceux qui ne sont pas de cette ethnie comme dans Gadjo Dilo) le rattrape.
