The Snowman
1985, German. Directed by Peter F. Bringmann.
Dorn, a young adventurer and survivalist, is trying to sell 50,000 porn magazines in a flophouse in Malta when he is interrupted by the police. On the run, he finds a luggage storage ticket from Frankfurt Central Station. Together with his friend Lazlo, he sets out to retrieve the contents of the locker - 5 kilograms of pure cocaine. Dorn, who is completely out of his mind, does not hesitate for a second to turn the substance into money. In doing so, he completely overlooks the danger he is putting himself in. Two rival gangs are hunting him down and trying to seize the drugs with all their might.
