Synopsis
Hans and Max would like to corner the local hotdog market, whereas Harry would prefer to be pampered by his muscular auto mechanics. But a bag with mysterious contents interrupts everyone’s plans, and the group of improbable thieves and gangsters suddenly finds itself in Poland’s Drogomyœl. The comic plane results not only from multiple misunderstandings and absurd situations, but also from the overall wackiness of the various protagonists. They bring the Polish locations to life similar to Kusturica’s effect on the Balkans, and Glawogger shows how to create a work of magical realism in Central Europe in which anything, thanks to the unique narrative perspective, can truly happen. The goal here is the journey itself, full of drug trips and unequivocal assignments which no one can fulfill. It is a journey during which, out of the blue, a redheaded taxi driver might fall in love with you. And if you’re no longer bothered by what Jules and Vincent had in that glowing briefcase in Pulp Fiction, this movie will set your head buzzing once again.

Directors Biography
Michael Glawogger is a director, writer and cinematographer and his work in each of these roles displays a broad spectrum. Glawogger was born in Graz, Austria, in 1959. He is a traveling filmmaker. Not only does he literally journey around the world for his documentaries, he also moves back and forth between forms and genres, between photography and writing, between gentler and more forceful tones. He graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute and the Vienna Film Academy and has since worked as a director, writer, and cinematographer in Vienna, Bangkok, and Znojmo. His recent works range from the literary adaptation Kill Daddy Good Night (2009) and the quirky comedies Slugs (2004) and Contact High (2009) to his essayist documentaries Whore's Glory (2011), Megacities (2009) and Workingman's Death (2004).
