Music plays another major role in the film, echoing Gatlif's magnum opus, Latcho Drom. Initially, their fears seem absurd, yet it becomes clear that these are the very prejudices that Romani people must endure every day. They at first fear Stéphane, accusing him much in the way they themselves are accused by the local non-Roma, fearing he will steal from them or kidnap the children (both are racist stereotypes falsely associated with Romani people).
