PLOT : Unburdened by any obligations and free of any responsibilities, three Italian men leave their quiet hometown in the search for exotic experiences and adventures. Set on the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall, their journey across Eastern Europe begins lighthearted and carelessly until their encounter with a man who fled Romania and unexpectedly leaves them with a mysterious suitcase. The further east they travel, the more they realize the difficulty and the needs of the people surrounding them. Ride along for the nervous breakdowns, strange encounters, and missteps along the way that are the makeup of this comedic drama about friendship and the consequences of the Cold War.
