The film focuses on the end of Zeno’s travels, when he has returned to Bruges to contemplate his life. Living quietly under an assumed name, he treats the sick in one of the town’s religious houses.

His search takes him to a gypsy village where he befriends Izidor and witnesses the pains and joys of the Romani experience. 

Far from romanticizing Roma communities, Tony Gatlif continues in The Crazy Stranger with the portrait of minorities excluded from cinema’s dominant representation. Therefore, the Roma community is shown in all its vitality, passion, and talent, but also in its tendency towards inebriation, crime and violence, a result of the segregation and xenophobia of the world around them.

The story details the experiences of two friends, Luo and Ma, as they try to survive a Maoist reeducation camp in a remote mountain village during the Cultural Revolution. Outmaneuvering the party official who watches over them, they pursue the beautiful granddaughter of the village tailor, meeting with her secretly to read books by outlawed writers. In their most radical act, they persuade the villagers that the Mozart pieces Luo plays on his violin are songs about the revolution.
