A
screwball romantic comedy, fish-out-of-water story, about Jan, who comes
to America from Germany and becomes seduced by the good, the bad and
the ugly of Hollywood only to finally realize that none of it is worth
the true love that he’s lost.
Take
one German sausage salesman enamored with the Hollywood dream
factory who comes to Los Angeles for a trade show; add in a mixture
of off-beat characters, an egocentric director just out of rehab
and his self-centered Russian socialite wife, a crafty Korean
donut lady, a depressed paranoid cop, Zulus, pygmies, German oom-pah
band, Corsican goatherds, Arabs, a psycho skin-head, an acerbic
midget hotel desk clerk, and Walter "the egg-man"; cook slowly
with a beautiful German nanny in love with our hero; and you end
up with a fish-out-of-water romantic comedy. Jan comes to America
and finds that the real Hollywood is quite different than his
romanticized version. Through a freak accident, the star-struck
Jan gets sucked into and blinded by the "movie scene," never makes
it to his trade show, and in the process meets Geraldine, the
starlet of his dreams, and Mark, a director shooting another of
his post-rehab cinematic masturbations. When Jan returns to earth,
he finds that he has lost Sandra, his new-found love and returns
to Germany, a changed man, who has come to realize that there
is more to life than tinsel town and that there is more than one
way to eat an egg.
