User Reviews

It does make sense in a lackadaisical world

• good sense. A German robber hides out in a small Luxembourger town to give his crime time to cool down. While hiding he becomes accepted by the small village and of himself. All of a sudden he has a job, he plays trumpet in a band where he couldn't even read music before. He gets a house, a woman, a son, and best of all, a dog. Finally, he even shaves his face and cuts his hair. How did this happen over the course of one summer?
