==Plot== In 1835 Wallachia, aging constable Costandin is tasked to locate Carfin, a fugitive Roma slave accused of stealing from his master, the boyar Iordache. Traversing the countryside with his son and deputy Ioniță, Costandin comes across, among others, monks, Roma gold panners, a priest prone to spewing out stereotypes, and travellers massacred by hajduks. After bribing a constable in the neighbouring county for information, Costandin manages to track down Carfin at the home of a peasant craftsman. They also take into custody Țintiric, a child slave who ran away from his brutal master.
