A story of a guy (Jack Lemon) who gets involved with a Gypsy woman (Genevieve Bujold) who has other agendas and spends the majority of his time in the story, trying to reconcile her with his own non-Gypsy values and somewhat straitlaced views. James Woods, in his pre-"Angry young man" days has a part which balances Lemmon's role and the unforgettable veteran Greek character actor, Titos Vandis who plays a Gypsy king.
