The Story:
A clan of Roma musicians and dancers have settled in a seedy section of Brooklyn. The man who smuggled them into the US is demanding payment, and their only hope lies in a romance between Zazu, a sizzling exotic Gypsy dancer and Wynn Dwyer, a wealthy motivational speaker who is infatuated with her. The plot hinges on the moody Zazu, who lives at the speed of emotion. When she actually falls for the American, the cross-cultural affair becomes a matter of life and death. Along the way, there are unforgettable love songs, drinking songs, dirty songs, and breakup songs - with clever lyrics, fleet-footed dancing, and comedic riffs on love, marriage and the American Dream. |
