About "Bagdad Café"

1h35min, Comedy/Drama, English, Rated PG.

Inspired by his own trip across Route 66 in the 80s, Percy Adlon’s feature is a heartwarming and entertaining look at those that found community and belonging along Route 66. German tourist Jasmin argues with her husband after car trouble strands them along a dusty highway in the American Southwest. Fuming, she storms off and travels by foot to the nearest outpost of civilization -- the Bagdad Café. Upon arriving, she butts heads with the owner (CCH Pounder), but they soon forge an unlikely friendship. What begins as a few days' respite becomes a prolonged stay as Jasmin finds her niche within this eccentric truck-stop.
