The story
The film deals with the criminal ways and turbulent lives of a group of modern-day Romanis living in the early 1960s of New York City.
While on his deathbed their "king", Zharko Stepanowicz, passes his position of leadership on to his unwilling grandson, Dave.
In spite of Dave's reluctance to become the Gypsies' new leader, Dave's father, Groffo, resentful over not having been appointed leader, attempts to have Dave killed.
