After a heated argument with her husband, Jasmin Münchgstettner, a businesswoman from Rosenheim, suddenly finds herself alone in the desert—somewhere between Disneyland and Las Vegas.
After a major row with her husband, Jasmin Münchgstettner, a businesswoman from Rosenheim, suddenly finds herself alone in the desert—somewhere between Disneyland and Las Vegas. Without further ado, she checks into the nearby “Bagdad Café,” a rather run-down motel. Here, Brenda, an African American woman, is in charge. Brenda is in a foul mood, stressed out, and at first meets the strange stranger in her loden suit with undisguised suspicion. That changes abruptly, however, when Jasmin begins to whip the run-down place back into shape with German thoroughness...
OUT OF ROSENHEIM became a cult classic in the 1980s and made Marianne Sägebrecht an international star. It won the Ernst Lubitsch Prize, the Bavarian Film Prize, the Federal Film Prize in gold and silver, and the César for Best Foreign Film.
