An ex-convict living in Berlin befriends an abused prostitute and an elderly eccentric following his release from prison. The three of them hope to leave their unhappy lives behind and make a fresh start in America, but rapidly find their dreams turning sour. Werner Herzog's comedy drama, starring Bruno S, Eva Mattes and Clemens Scheitz. In German, English and Turkish.

Bruno Stroszek is released from prison and warned to stop drinking. He has few skills and fewer expectations: with a glockenspiel and an accordion, he ekes out a living as a street musician. He befriends Eva, a prostitute down on her luck and they join his neighbor, Scheitz, an elderly eccentric, when he leaves Germany to live in Wisconsin.
