The Other Europeans
Until the early 20th Century Jews and Roma in Bessarabia stayed together, married each other and played music together. This Jewish Klezmer and Romani Lautar musicians formed a common music culture, which was destroyed by the outbreak of World War II. Since that time Klezmer and Lautar music have lived in different worlds. Seventy years later, fourteen internationally known musicians from various parts of the world would go on a trip to find this common past. The eight Klezmorim and six Lautari search for a lost sound which leads them through many European countries. But soon the project of the musicians became an intense and even painful exploration of their own identity finally raising the question about their own status as Jews and Roma within and outside Europe.
