A Gypsy Love Story

In the darkness of a rural night, a gypsy clan gathers to mourn their beloved patriarch in a ritual celebrated through music and dance.As the ritual unfolds, the patriarch's aged widow reminisces, in a dreamlike flashback about the beginnings of their adventurous romance.

One of the scenes describes the lovers, chased by her raving mad father, into an enchanting forest inhabited by good gnomes and evil goblins.After much tribulation and danger - and with the help of the gnomes - the young lovers manage to escape and leave the forest.

With a tapestry of memories Manoushe is a kaleidoscope packed with imagery gleefully hijacked from sources like the brothers Grimm, mideval European forest legends, magical realism, carnival camp, peyote hallucinations and even voodoo.It's a Neverending "love" story wrapped in a Tolkienesque landscape.
