Genre: Drama / Comedy
Country/Region of Production: West Germany / USA
Synopsis: After an argument with her husband, a plump German woman stays alone in a motel that also runs a café. The insulated high-pressure kettle left behind during the quarrel, filled with coffee, followed her and became the first prop of the magic.
The husband of the café landlady left the house indignantly, unable to understand her son's music, unable to accept her daughter's fashion, unable to tolerate the crying in her infancy, and had to wander outside the lives of her three children as an outsider; the café she ran had no coffee machine, and the bar was dusty; the hotel she managed lived with a painter who had been working for a long time, a tattooed girl with no business. The hostess of the Baghdad café, wrapped in the dust of life, has been eclipsed, and she can no longer tolerate an uninvited guest.
The German woman took what she witnessed as an understandable bewilderment and insisted on staying. After a clean-up, the Baghdad café became a rainbow in the desert; men's clothes changed to fashionable women's clothes to help the heroine's daughter through puberty; sat on the sidelines and listened to the piano playing by the landlady's son; used her husband's magic props to learn magic and gave the café an after-effect show. What German women do is just the norm in life, but in the eyes of this café in the Desert of Baghdad, it is a magic trick.
