Synopsis
Blaumilch, an enterprising madman, escapes a mental asylum. He comes across an unattended jackhammer, lugs the tool into downtown Tel Aviv, and starts digging. Soon the neighbors and passing drivers are up in arms, but a cop tries to bring some order to the situation by directing traffic and helping Blaumilch with his task. Before long, bureaucrats and municipal offices are at each other's throats trying to figure out whether to denounce Blaumilch's crazy behavior or take credit for his increasingly popular and industrious work. The political crossfire hits a fever pitch as he keeps digging a channel all the way to the Mediterranean.
