Synopsis:

Three harmless, lovable patients of a psychiatric institution are sent to the country for the summer. The driver has a heart attack on a secluded country road and the bus ends up in a ditch. The three march directly to the next village, which they take to be their destination. Sichel's strength is matched only by his size, and he has never spoken a word. Kamilla, forced to work as the village prostitute by her father, discovers a sensitive man in this clumsy oaf. A chaste and tender relationship develops between the two. Ezechiel Dölken has suffered from insomnia since childhood. He befriends a confused old woman who takes him for her son finally returned from WWII. Dölken plays along and, through her, he finds the childhood he never had. Ivo lost his wife and children in a car accident. Since then, he has lived in another world where he's together with his family. A piglet falls in love with him. A young scamp who has gotten himself into an apparently hopeless situation turns to Ivo. The two become friends, and Ivo saves him from trouble. The patients' absence is noticed and the hunt begins. At first, none of the villagers suspect that the three gentlemen are the object of the search. By the time their identity is discovered, they're far away, and the next village is already waiting.

Misters Dölken, Ivo and Sichel, all living peacefully in a lunatic asylum in Austria, are about to spend their summer in a special camp for those who are challenged by life. When their driver suffers a heart-attack near a little village, the three men think they have reached their destination. Instantly feeling at home in the village, they all soon meet new people. When the townsfolk hear that three lunatics have broken out, they start searching for them frantically - and as the mayor's old mother is reported missing, this search looks like the one for Frankenstein's monster. Actually, the everyday people of the village are mentally not that far away from the three sympathetic strangers, who blend in perfectly, enriching the little villages' strange normalness by their presence.
