Story

13-year-old Nelly Klabund has absolutely no desire to spend her summer vacation in Romania. But her father Robert and mother Anne are adamant. When they arrive in Wallachia, where the plane landed unscheduled, Nelly learns from the strange tour guide Holzinger that the vacation in Romania is to become a permanent stay because her father has landed a coveted job in Transylvania. Nelly is furious that her parents didn't tell her about the plan; she doesn't want to have to get used to a new place of residence and leave her friends behind. The girl runs away - straight into the arms of Hokus and Iancu, who kidnap her and take her to a remote Roma village. The mysterious Tibi and his sister Roxana help Nelly to escape, but her kidnappers won't let up...
