In a remote desert town, a young woman, her brother and their mother struggle day in, day out just to keep their heads above water. Their mother is ill, the bills are piling up, and creditors and debt collection agencies are seizing their already meagre possessions. They find themselves increasingly entangled in a spiral of poverty and despair. In their desperation, they decide to rob a petrol station. What begins as a small grab from the till quickly spirals into a chain reaction of absurd situations.

Amidst this chaos, our heroes come face to face with a corrupt sheriff, who seems primarily interested in her own gain. As the situation escalates into a whirlwind of guns and betrayal, they discover that even the most hopeless situation can take an unexpected turn.

And then there’s also a mysterious cowboy with a guitar, who sings the events into being.

Following the success of Knock-Out (2021), Jakop Ahlbom Company, ISH Dance Collective and DelaMar Theater are once again joining forces for an explosive collaboration. Get ready for a visually spectacular action comedy packed with music, slapstick and special effects. For *A Fine Mess*, Jakop Ahlbom and Marco Gerris draw inspiration from, amongst other things, films by Tarantino, the Coen Brothers and iconic 1980s action films such as *Lethal Weapon* and *Die Hard*.
