Storyline

Schnitzel paradise is a hilarious comedy about Nordip Doenia, who has recently graduated with marks other students can only dream of. His proud father wishes him to go and study medicine, but that's not what Nordip wants. The world is at his feet, but like so many people at his age he hasn't got a clue of what to do with his life. He secretly takes a job washing up in hotel 'The Blue Vulture', where you end up if there's absolutely nothing you're any good at. Here he runs into Agnes, the owner's niece and intended successor whether she wants to or not. Nordip and Agnes discover that they have more in common than they thought: surrounded by dirty pans, greasy schnitzels and a bunch of bizarre and hilarious characters, they start a secret relationship. Schnitzel paradise is a comedy between two cultures. Will Nordip and Agnes give in to the pressure of their surroundings or will they stick together?
