When a gypsy caravan settles next to a French village with the intention of working in the grape harvest, the local reaction ranges from welcome to rejection. In addition, the Nazi-collaborationist authorities intend to arrest the Gypsies for being homeless. The village mayor decides to help them by giving them a plot of land, but they are reluctant to leave their nomadic life, risking their lives in exchange for their freedom.
