Stroszek
Βruno Stroszek, a traveling storyteller who performs in Berlin courtyards, gets out of prison for the umpteenth time. When he gets back to his apartment, he finds all of his old things that his friend and neighbor Scheitz had been looking after. One evening, Bruno meets the prostitute Eva in a pub. In an attempt to save her from her violent pimps, he decides to put her up at his place. But the girl’s pimps dont give up: they threaten and beat the two of them mercilessly. All Bruno and Eva can do is run away, so they accept Scheitzs offer to go to the United States, where the old man has a nephew who can find them a job. After an interval of apparent tranquility, troubles arise as Eva starts prostituting herself again in order to pay their bills, and then runs off to Canada. Their house is auctioned off. Bruno and Scheitz pull off a grotesque hold-up at a barber shop; Scheitz is arrested immediately, while Bruno continues his desperate escape.
