Donogoo Tonka. Die geheimnisvolle Stadt

The video shows the first five minutes of the film.

Film synopsis: Parisians Josette and Pierre are a happy couple, but also a completely broke one. An absurd chain of events leads them to Professor Trouhadec, who is in a predicament: Because he believed the tales of scheming adventurer Broudier, Trouhadec wrote extensively about the city of Donogoo Tonka in his book about South America, only to realize much too late that the place doesn′t exist at all. In order to save the professor′s reputation, Josette and Pierre boldly decide to found the missing city – not knowing that they have just embarked on the most bizarre adventure.
