Reluctant Ruler: Dave is unwilling on his part to take on the title "King of the Gypsies" from his grandfather but he eventually accepts it and prepares to take the group into the twentieth century.

Archnemesis Dad: Groffo is this towards his son, Dave, out of resentment that he was passed on the leadership of their group.

comment
Roguish Romani: The focus of the film is about a turbulent group of Romani dealing with a transition to power from grandfather to grandson, in which a father tries to have his son killed because his father (the son's grandfather) bypassed him.
