Full Description
Why does StĂ©phane, a young Parisian boy, arrive in the depth of winter, at the north station of Bucharest? Whatâs the meaning for him of this strange song Nora Luca, that he makes everybody listen to wherever he goes? The Rumanian chief town is only a stage, and his obsessional quest leads him to Valachie, in the heart of an unknown country, of a murdered people: the Lautaris, âmusicians, spiesâ.
