The Indian Raphael lives with his wife and two children on a landfill . He finds himself unable to free his family from their depressing living conditions until he meets the mysterious McCarthy in town.

Reviews
Although the film was shown very successfully at the Cannes Film Festival and was highly praised by critics there , it received consistently poor reviews from US critics; Johnny Depp was so upset about this that he refused to release the film in the United States. The film has been released in Germany and in many other countries and is available on DVD.
