Storyline

Itinerant projection-equipment repairman Bruno Winter and depressed hitchhiker Robert Lander - a doctor who has just been through a break-up with his wife and a half-hearted suicide attempt - travel along the Western side of the East-German border in a repair truck, visiting worn-out movie theaters, learning to communicate across their differences.

Bewilderment in a wasteland has rarely been filmed with such tender irony and sentimental optimism.

A sprawling portrait of alienation perfectly outfitted for the Roger Miller track with which it shares its name (and utilizes in its final frames).

Kings of the Road is one of the most beautiful and original poems of modern cinema. [Full Review in Spanish]
