Synopsis

“The premise sees a trio of telepathic Russian dwarves hired by an Austrian conceptual artist – a Joseph Beuys type whose clay-encrusted visage makes him look like a reject from the Blue Man Group, and whose walls are covered with complicated-looking equations. Eagle-eyed viewers may spot among the chalkings the decidedly non-algebraic formulation C3PO over R2D2. (Strong in this one, the force is.) The dwarfs‘ aim is to steal a certain something from the turbine-room of the Siberian power-station in which the artist has been imprisoned for years – and the film is essentially an 80-minute buildup to the revealing of Caballero’s version of ‚the great whatsit‘ from “Kiss Me Deadly (by Robert Aldrich 1955)”.” (Indiewire, from Catalogue Filmfest München)
