King of the Gypsies
They have their own language... Their own codes of sex, honor and vengeance... And their own way of choosing a king.
Directed by Frank Pierson
Produced by The De Laurentiis Company
A dark family drama about inherited power and cultural codes, centered on generational conflict and the burden of unwanted leadership within a Romani community.
Zharko, leader of the Romanis in NYC, passes his position of leadership on to his unwilling grandson, Dave, leading to infighting between Dave and his father.
