Bad Luck Page #3

Synopsis: Dagmar works at a petrol station, owes money, and to make matters worse, is turned out of her flat. Lippo is at a complete loss. After 15 years building up a betting shop with his boss, he suddenly gets fired. Karl is a car mechanic and sells water filters to make ends meet. Rizzo, Karl's strange friend, is unhappy about being different to the others. A desolate petrol station in the middle of nowhere serves as a focal point in the characters' lives. Three car crashes, one stolen gun and a surprise discovery of money appear by irony of fate as means for escaping the tedious daily routine. But nothing is as simple as it first appears. Chance, irresponsible acts, and entanglements: in the end it seems that happiness is far from attainable. BAD LUCK is a lovingly made, tragic-comic film about wrong decisions, chance and the search for happiness.

The gun!

What are you going to do?

Shoot me or what?

He's right, what shall we do?

Tie him up!

What?

Tie him up with something, anything!

Stop it, Dagmar.

You won't get far.

Why did you come back?

I didn't want to eat pizza alone.

Are you alright?

Yeah, somehow.

My head hurts a little and a graze.

May I smoke?

Yes, sure.

You're going to end up like your dad.

Stop bothering me with my dad.

I don't want to end up like all of you.

There's nothing.

-What?

No rope, cord, nothing!

What shall we do now?

Get up!

Gerhard.

What?

Faster!

In there.

I'm sorry.

-I don't care. You won't get far.

The money!

Sh*t!

What?

What now?

What happened?

We're out of petrol.

We didn't fill up.

So...

I'm going to find a petrol station.

See you.

Dagmar!

Dagmar, wait!

-Stand still or I'll shoot!

I only want to talk.

-I'm serious, Gerhard!

What do you want to do?

I don't know.

We'll work it out.

Do you think I'm happy?

That isn't a life.

Then let's run away.

Where do you want to go?

Dagmar! Wait!

What have you done now?

You beat him dead?

And?

What shall we do with him?

I had to do it or we'd both

be in trouble.

Get it? Both of us!

I can't take it much longer.

Wrong again.

No way.

I've had it.

He's going in the lake.

What's wrong with this guy?

Murderer!

You are a murderer.

I'm not a murderer.

You are.

He was already dead.

I haven't heard about Karl since.

But knowing him...

He probably just sat there,

until he ran out of cigarettes.

And then turned himself in.

He was an honest soul, really.

We all want to escape fate.

We rush from one corner to another.

All of us searching for happiness.

Sometimes it's just a big new car.

A house... sometimes recognition.

But most of the time it's

all about money.

I spent hours running through the forest.

And then I came to a decision.

My mum will take it.

She'll call it fate, I'll call it luck.

For me, it was the start

of a new life.

I simply can't stand it...

When I'm called an idiot.
