Picaresque yarn about two oddball men...one Spanish, the other Russian/Italian...who meet cute and spend three weeks together wandering aimlessly around Brittany. They are both fixated on love...finding it or keeping it...and go through several semi-comic misadventures in their mutual search. Neither guy is very likable or attractive or even behaves very nicely toward the women they find...so therein lies the story.
For a while this was fun...unpredictable and loopy. Some of the things they did were cruel and insensitive but they mostly seemed like a couple of life's losers doing the best they could while rooting around at the bottom of the food chain. The film was too long (2 1/4 hours) but I held on all the way to the extremely unlikely happy (?) ending.
Overall a pleasant diversion.
