aka: Europa

Cast: Jean-Marc Barr, Barbara Sukowa, Udo Kier, Ernst-Hugo Jaregard, Erik Mork, Jorgen Reenberg, Henning Jensen, Eddie Constantine, Max von Sydow, Benny Poulsen
American of German descent Leopold (Jean-Marc Barr) arrives in post-World War II Germany to help a torn-up country.

Narration of the English-dubbed version is by Max von Sydow, which helps in the understanding of this somewhat confusing, surrealistic film.
