Atanas Georgiev (2009, Macedonia) - 76’
A fake marriage is the quickest way to an Austrian passport.
Marko and Atanas are two friends whose lives would be sweet as strudel but for an annoying little problem with their papers. They need a European passport and they are prepared to do almost anything to get one, including buying a wife. With nothing but their brass necks and 7,000 euros, they set out to find the woman of their dreams - one who will walk them down the aisle and then hang around long enough for the divorce. An odyssey through Vienna's immigrant netherworld, this real-life Green Card is a hilarious and touching insight into what it takes to jump the barriers of Fortress Europe.
