What did the ending mean to you? (Spoilers)
For me it was simply that the French guy (Stephane) decided to quit being an outsider looking in at the Gypsy people and instead become one with them. The way he buried all his tapes and put the vodka bottle on the burial hole, was symbolic of putting to rest his role of being the outsider. I think after he saw the village get pounded by the locals, he truly felt the hatred towards the Gypsies, and he felt he could no longer be the outsider, but had to choose sides. I thought it was a good ending. Quick, but effective. (And his shoes were probably in good repair for the rest of his life.)
