Marko and Atanas are two dudes whose lives would be sweet as strudel but for an annoying little problem with their papers. They need a European passport and they are prepared to do almost anything to get one, including buying a wife. With nothing but their brass necks and 7,000 euros, they set out to find the woman of their dreams — one who will walk them down aisle and then hang around long enough for the divorce. An odyssey through Vienna's immigrant netherworld, this real-life Green Card is an hilarious and touching insight into what it takes to jump the barriers of Fortress Europe.
The media and analysts convince us that young people "flee" to Western European countries in search of better life, more money and opportunities. CASH & MARRY explores this notion without seeking to prove or disprove it. Instead, the film, presents the immigrants, shows their background, asks questions about their own motivation and ideas while at the same time presenting the procedure and life-changes they go through. It is not a sociological study as much as it is a film about people in a difficult, unordinary and often absurd situation. Through their examples CASH & MARRY sheds light on the issue of immigration but with a fresh perspective. |
