Synopsis

A psychedelic road movie, located somewhere along the way from Vienna to the small Polish village of Drogomysl. Five people take centre stage in this "weird" story: Schorsch loves to spend his time watching car races on TV; Mao has no time for such treats because she has to watch a friend’s daughter; Harry pleasures himself with blond mechanics; and Johann and Max dream of becoming rich snack bar owners. Although the characters’ lifestyles are pretty much settled, they get completely turned upside down when the mysterious Pole Woytila shows up. He executes the order to bring back a bag to Poland – and in the process puts the others in several weird situations.
