Troublemaker

In Grund prison, two petty criminals, Jacques Goudebour, who likes to call himself Johnny Chicago, and Chuck Moreno, meet and share the dream of becoming real gangsters in the United States. After their release, they plan to rob a bank together, but they do it rather clumsily and have to flee without any loot. "The cinematic odyssey of two crazy, sometimes slightly loud-mouthed outsiders between prison, desolate workers' housing estates and a world that only exists in their cinema-fuelled dreams and illusions; a film also about the incompatibility of European reality and the Hollywood dream world."
