Sansa (2003)
Directed by Siegfried

Comedy / Drama

Film Synopsis

Sansa is a free spirit, a bohemian artist for whom borders have little meaning.  In his travels, he encounters numerous people, the most surprising being an eccentric orchestra conductor, whom he adopts as a temporary father.  Sansa begins his wanderings in Montmartre, Paris, and soon lands up in Russia, a place where crime is rampant and everyone is drunk on vodka.  His itinerary takes in Italy, Africa and India.  Wherever he goes, Sansa is hassled by the police and cannot resist seducing every woman he meets.  It is only after travelling thousands of miles that Sansa realises he hasn't gone anywhere.
