Synopsis
Two young Romanians who win an Elvis and Marilyn look-alike contest set off on their prize trip to Rimini, which turns out to be fraught with problems. They encounter passport problems at the border and are forced to travel overland. During the trip, Ileana is sexually assaulted and Nicolaj is beaten up. They make it to Italy, but then the show is disastrous. But they do get a second chance at stardom -- when they are offered parts in a porn show with some other lookalikes.
