Plot

Transylvania the story of Zingarina (Asia Argento), a rebel Italian girl who travels to Transylvania with her best friend Marie (Amira Casar) and a young interpreter Luminita (Alexandra Beaujard) seeking for her enamoured one Milan Agustin (Morgan), who has been expelled from France, the country where they had known each other and fallen in love. She knows he's a road musician and works in a gipsy violinist band. Zingarina finds him during a pagan festival (Herod's Feast), but Milan says to her that their lovestory is over. The girl, angry and deluded, doesn't want to return to France and, during her senseless travel through the boulevards and the villages, meets Tchangalo (Birol Unel), a charming and travelling merchant of a Turkish descent.
