Schultze and a couple of his friends reach retirement age, and can no longer work in the mines. They get given some weird lamps as retirement gifts, hit the pub for a few beers, then proceed to go smack bam into existential retirement. Schultze seems to take it the hardest, and is restless without a job. His hobby as an accordionist becomes threatened when he gets a taste for the blues. There's a great scene where he visits the doctor to ask if it's normal for a person's musical taste to change so suddenly.
Schultze ends up taking a trip to America to find himself, and then getting a boat to travel down the Mississippi. Really recommend this film. 9/10
