Animals with the Tollkeeper

As far as I can tell, the tollkeeper has nothing to do with the rest of the film whatsoever. The intro film only features a trio of French filmmakers who end up in Henry's (Tim Roth) cab. That happens right after he gets mugged by John Torturro and a young man, who suffers from Down Syndrom.

Anyway, after driving the French people around for a while he ends up in the middle of nowhere all alone. That is when he falls desperately in love with Fatima who initially is not interested in his advances at all.

She lives together with her very strange family. Henry hangs around to be with her and eventually win her love. The woman's younger brother is not at all happy with him being around and attempts to attack him repeatedly - without much success - once by sending in his pigs to attack.

Of course, Henry does win her heart and the two set out to look for paradise, that he has a somewhat blurry vision of. And that is when it gets really weird.
