Synopsis:

After screwing up a money exchange a Viennese small-time crook accompanied by a Russian hostess hits the road to the East. Austrian small time crook Johnny Pichler meets a dubious 'businessman' at the Slovak border to hand over a wad of cash. Things do not go as planned and suddenly Johnny is on the run with callgirl Shirley, the money and the gangster's Cadilliac. After several fruitless attempts to sell the car, Shirley dumps Johnny, who has hopelessly fallen in love with her. Based on an address on a photo, Johnny decides to search for her in Lviv in the Ukraine.

Writer, artist, and stage designer Andrea Maria Dusl makes her directorial debut with the offbeat road movie Blue Moon, appropriately taking place during a month with two full moons. Minor criminal Johnny Pichler (Austrian standup comic Josef Hader) goes on the road with a bag of money and a blonde call girl named Shirley (Ukranian actress Viktoria Malektorovych). After she leaves him at a hotel, Johnny briefly runs into the shady con man Ignaz Springer (East German actor/director Detlev W. Buck). Trying to find Shirley with only an address on a photograph, Johnny ends up in Lviv, Ukraine, and meets brunette cab driver Jana (also Malektorovych), who happens to be Shirley's twin sister. Eventually Johnny is led to the Black Sea and into the city of Odessa.

On the borders of Austria and Slovakia, a mafioso in a suit barks angrily into his mobile phone: the money should have been there long before. In the car, a seductive young woman, who clearly refuses to take on the role of the bimbo entertainment, is also subject to his threats. Johnny, an unlikely luggage porter, finally arrives in a beaten-up taxi. The man forces him, at gunpoint, to get into the car. But when he is about to start the car, the young woman squirts him with an immobilising spray and, kicking him out of the car, accelerates hard. We see Johnny and Shirley again in a hotel in Slovakia, after spending the day trying to sell the car, which is obviously stolen. But when Johnny goes back to the bar where he'd been for a beer, the unknown young woman has disappeared. He then meets a dilettante gangster from the former East Germany, who is now involved in import- export shoe business. Together, they set off on a headlong rush to find Shirley and, like some kind of contemporary Odyssey, travel the length and breadth of the continent.
