On a farm in the Camargue, the marsh country of the Rhône delta, young Livette is setting the supper table when a face darkens the window: Zinzara, a gypsy drawn to the region by the May pilgrimage of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Around Livette and her drover sweetheart Aicard builds a story of rivalry among herdsmen, bulls, horses and festivals.
