Bagdad Cafe

Bagdad Cafe is the “totally original” story about a sad little roadside hotel deep in the Mohave Desert. The hotel’s desperate need for a good cleaning is only part of the problem when it comes to it’s foul tempered owner, Brenda (CCH Pounder), who is trying to make a living the only way she knows how. Salvation arrives in the form of a plump sweaty German woman named Jasmin (Marianne Sägebrecht). With a scrub brush and a bag full of magic, she uncovers a sense of strength and beauty in the lives of the few residents. Brenda resists the strange Jasmin at first, but when she finally comes around, together these two women light up the desert sky.
