At a Gypsy mafia wedding, politicians, businessmen, and the secret police sit down to cut a deal.

Shukar Collective play bear tamer music using spoons, wooden barrels or daraboukas, whilst a couple of DJs add layer after layer of urban sound over this traditional music. It is this kind of eclectic environment that best describes what the documentary deals with: culture contact.

Electro is the first documentary from Romania that tries to define the term 'electro community': attitudes, values, forms of manifestation, artists, fans, promoters. The area of ​​interest is Bucharest, considered to be the most effervescent and eclectic city for the Romanian electro movement. In a flashy and hip talking heads format, electro covers topics of interest for a socio-cultural phenomenon still in an early stage of development in Romania: music piracy on the Internet, the lack of labels focused on promotion.
