Rosenheim

Out of Rosenheim (Bagdad Cafe)
_________
This song is from the film.

It is somewhat surreal. Set in a remote truck-stop café and motel in the Mojave Desert.

The film begins when German tourist Jasmin Sägebrecht driving across the desert and happens upon the truck stop, run by the tough-as-nails and short-tempered Brenda Pounder.

The cafe is visited by an odd assortment of characters, including a strange ex-Hollywood set-painter , and a glamorous tattoo artist.

Through a passion for cleaning and magic tricks, Jasmin gradually transforms the café and all the people in it.
_________

Bagdad, California is the original setting (Bagdad, Arizona is an unrelated town). There was an actual Bagdad Cafe (Rosenheim) that existed in the '60s when U.S. Route 66 ran through the town;

it (and the town) have since vanished. The site is marked by a railroad siding and a single tree.
