Unleaded

2000 · 98 min

A quirky, gentle day-in-the-life comedy-drama with a shy dreamer, small-town oddballs, and a touch of crime.

Overview: Passionate about the singer Elvis Costello, Ulysses works every Saturday at a gas station in the middle of nowhere to pay for his meteorology studies. Shy and suffering from stagnation when confronted with a conflict situation, he does not respond to the insistent advances of Marie, who lives across the street. At the same time, Anton and Mirek, two English gangsters, are combing all the gas stations in the area in search of a loot hidden in the toilets.
