Leningrad Cowboys Go America (1989)
Irgendwo in der Tundra, im Niemandsland, haust die schlechteste Rock ‘n’ Roll-Band der Welt, perfekt gestylt, doch ohne Publikum und ohne die geringste Chance auf kommerziellen Erfolg: die Leningrad Cowboys. Sie beschließen, ihren Nationalstolz zu begraben und in die Vereinigten Staaten zu gehen, wo die Leute “jeden Mist fressen”. Dieser Film erzählt die Geschichte ihrer Reise über den Ozean und durch den Kontinent, eine Geschichte von verrufenen Kneipen und anständigen Leuten im Hinterhof der Hamburger-Nation.
