Plot

Transylvania is the story of Zingarina (Asia Argento), a rebellious Italian girl who travels to Transylvania with her best friend Marie (Amira Casar) and a young interpreter, Luminita (Alexandra Beaujard), seeking her fiance, Milan Agustin (Morgan), who has been expelled from France, the country where they had met and fallen in love. She knows he's a travelling musician and plays in a gypsy band. Zingarina finds Milan at a pagan festival (Herod's Feast), but he tells her that their love story is over. The girl, angry and crushed, doesn't want to return to France and in her aimless travel through the boulevards and the villages, meets Tchangalo (Birol Unel), a charming and travelling merchant of Turkish descent.
