EGGS IN AMERICA Jane Beaumont Hall, Petra Luna Knieper and Richard Doyon Eggs In America Take one German software salesman enamored with the Hollywood dream factory who comes to Los Angeles for a trade show; add in a mixture of off-beat characters, an egocentric director just out of rehab and his self-centered Russian socialite wife, a crafty Korean donut lady, a depressed paranoid cop, Zulus, pygmies, a German oom-pah band, Corsican goat-herds, Arabs, a psycho skin-head, an acerbic midget hotel desk clerk, Walter “the egg-man,” and a rubber-duckie; cook slowly with a beautiful German nanny in love with our hero; and you end up with a fish-out-of-water romantic comedy. Jan comes to America and finds that the real Hollywood is quite different than his romanticized version. Through a freak accident, the star-struck Jan gets sucked into and blinded by the “movie scene,” and never makes it to his trade show. In the process he meets Geraldine, the starlet of his dreams, and Mark, a director shooting another of his post-rehab cinematic masturbations. When Jan returns to earth, he finds that he has lost Sandra, his new-found love, and returns to Germany, a changed man who has come to realize that there is more to life than tinsel town and that there is more than one way to eat an egg.
