A red Cadillac, two shady strangers, and one mechanic who's in WAY over his head.
The transport of a red Cadillac from Hamburg to San Remo poses serious problems for a car mechanic when his two passengers, whom he picked up at a carpooling agency, turn out to be rather shady characters. The vacation trip to sunny Italy turns into a wild chase as the police are constantly on the heels of the three.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Nicholas Hope's follow-up to his breakout in 'Bad Boy Bubby,' completely pivoting from that film's claustrophobic intensity to open-road anarchy.
Carpooling agencies were briefly a weird German phenomenon in the mid-'90s—this film captures that specific pre-internet stranger-danger economy perfectly.
