NOGO

"Billed as a gas station triptych, Nogo spins together three separate stories about young couples obsessively bound together against the world before uniting the six characters in an explosive finale. Debuting Austrian writer-directors Sabine Hiebler and Gerhard Ertl, whose background is in experimental film, create a stylish package with intriguing characters and situations, coolly composed visuals and a vigorous pace." - Variety

Petrol station attendant Joe and customer Maria barricade themselves against the world having taken one knock too many. Mechanic Tom and his terminally ill wife enter into a shady, international organ-harvesting ring to make some fast cash. Bank robber Sam fails to show for a big heist, detained trying to woo high-priced hooker Rosa. All of them converge on a highway fuel stop for a short but fateful meeting. Set to an ultra-hip electronica soundtrack by the Sofa Surfers, Nogo presents a trio of wild and surreal scenarios that culminate in, literally, a massive fireball.
