An unenthusiastic Vincent is given an election ballot to sign and mail, thus securing
his father another vote, a departing gift as he is taken to the clinic. Once indoctrinated
into the program, Vincent finds solace in Marie, a feisty anorexic whose partiality for
spontaneous adventure happens to coincide with Vincent’s objective of getting to the
Mediterranean Sea in Northern Italy to spread his mother’s ashes and fulfill her last wish: to
see the water one last time. Also coerced along for the ride happens Vincent’s roommate,
Alexander, an obsessive-compulsive whose only contentment comes in the form of
expensive cars, dapper dress, and Johann Sebastian Bach.
What follows is a hilarious road movie with the trio cruising down the autobahn without
the slightest concern for the inconveniences they cause the people around them along the
way. While Vincent’s father and Dr. Rose bumble along in pursuit of the escaped patients,
Vincent, Marie, and Alexander enjoy a reprieve from the clinic and experience a surrealistic
journey that liberates them from their afflictions. The film ends happily for just about
everyone, and the newfound friends discover that life is too precious to let their afflictions
interfere with their true individuality.
