• Plot: German writer-director Percy Adlon makes a 'remarkable' (Box Office) American debut with the 'charming' (Vogue) BAGDAD CAFE starring CCH Pounder (Avatar) and Jack Palance (City Slickers). Injecting his bold and unique style into a sweet story about the common threads that connect disparate people, Adlon succeeds in creating a cinematic jewel that is both 'hilarious and touching (Los Angeles Times).; ; Drawn to a pair of lights in the barren American desert sky, a mysterious German woman, Jasmin, stumbles upon a dilapidated motel/diner in the middle of nowhere. Her unusual appearance and demeanor are at first suspicious to Brenda, the exasperated owner who has difficulty making ends meet. But when an unlikely magic sparks between the two women, this lonely desert outpost is transformed into a thriving - and popular - oasis.
