Synopsis

It's just a greasy spoon and a rusty gas pump,but for Jasmin (Marianne Sagebrecht-Sugarbaby, War of the Roses), a German housewife on holiday who's dumped her husband in the middle of the Mojave, Bagdad Café appears as an oasis amid the dunes.

Until, that is, she checks into the café's ramshackle motel and tangles with it's bad-tempered owner. Brenda (CCH Pounder - Prizzi'a Honor, Face Off) is sloppy, loud and overworked, with too many kids and no patience for strangers.

Armed with a mop and a magic kit, Jasmin transforms this desolate dump into a popular roadside attraction. She also manages to attract the attention of Rudi, (Jack Palance - Shane, and Academy Award Winner of City Slickers), an ex-set decorator from hollywood who wants to paint her picture.

Bagdad Cafe is an offbeat comedy about mismatched characters who find paradise off the beaten track.
