Lost Killers

Deutschland 1999/2000 Spielfilm

Lost Killers

"Lost Killers" follows a group of curious characters, stranded in the city of Mannheim, all of them struggling to survive and to fulfil their dreams.

Branko and Merab are two hapless hitmen assigned to kill a businessman for reasons unknown. Absurd coincidences prevent them from carrying out their mission and so they join forces with Carlos, a gigantic illegal refugee from Haiti, and his girlfriend Lan, a tiny Vietnamese prostitute. But again the unsuspecting victim outwits them and a thoroughly unexpected murder takes place instead.
