OF SNAILS AND MEN

by Tudor Giurgiu

synopsis

In a small town, the state-owned car factory, which employs almost all the local men, is about to be privatized. What the workers do not know is that their manager plans to make money from the deal and approaches two French businessmen, father and son, who are interested in buying the factory but intend to convert it into a snail cannery.

His crazy solution scares his fellow workers somewhat, as it involves them selling their sperm to an American sperm bank...
