Crash Test Dummies

This comedy takes a light and gentle view of the European polyglot personality. A Romanian couple, Ana and Nicholae, travel from Bucharest to Vienna in the hope of making a fast buck transporting a stolen car. On arrival, however, they are informed that their car is not yet ready. Strangers in a strange land, Ana and Nicholae grow increasingly disconnected - to each other, to themselves, and to their mission. They ultimately choose to part ways. Adrift on their own, each makes an unlikely friend. For Nicholae, it is a cosmopolitan travel agent, Dana. For Ana, it is a sad-sack of a department store detective named Jan, who, with his mess of a roommate (her day-job is as a human crash-test dummy), embraces Ana‘s mission to return to Bucharest. As human connections attempt to trump the formidable barriers posed by language and cultural differences, the film becomes a comic meditation on the challenges of building a unified New Europe.
