Synopsis
WHEN YOU´RE $100,000 IN DEBT, IT´S YOUR PROBLEM. WHEN YOU´RE $1,000,000 IN DEBT...IT´S THE BANK´S. The creators of BAGDAD CAFE are at it again, this time with a hilarious satire of The American Way. German-born Rosalie (MARIANNE SAEGEBRECHT, The War of the Roses, Bagdad Cafe) gives her doting husband (BRAD DAVIS, Midnight Express, Chariots of Fire) and loving children a life of gourmet meals and every modern convenience. Look for a standout performance by ALEX WINTER (Bill and Ted´s Excellent Adventure) as Schatzi, one of Rosalie´s seven children. Juggling 37 credit cards and countless mortgage and installment payments, Rosalie blithely alters checks, lies to bill collectors and pilfers her own son´s savings to keep afloat. Daily she admits her sins to the incredulou local priest (JUDGE RHEINHOLD, Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2, Ruthless People) then goes back to her games of fraud. After she buys a computer for her oldest daughter´s birthday, Rosalie´s wheeling and dealing takes on international implications. Setting up a bogus corporation of her own, Rosalie borrows ever-larger amounts of money, taking the concept of consumerism to its absurd extreme. It´s a whimsical portrayal of living the American dream--one step ahead of bankruptcy!
