Directed by: Percy Adlon
Starring: Marianne Sägebrecht, CCH Pounder, and Jack Palance
Jasmin (Marianne Sägebrecht), a German tourist, has just walked off from her husband at the side of the road in the middle of the Mojave Desert; Brenda (CCH Pounder) has just kicked her husband out of the roadside cafe-motel they operate. When Jasmin arrives at the cafe, the two begin developing a prickly but ultimately rewarding friendship that transforms each of them in unexpected, even magical ways. All in all, an eccentric and wonderful film.
