Plot
Bancroft and Deckermensky are two terminally ill cancer patients who sneak out of the hospital for a series of adventures, their main goal being to reach a famed brothel in Amsterdam. In a stolen ambulance, they make their way to Holland. Along the way, the duo stop over at a wedding, where Bancroft’s former flame who abandoned him when he became ill is a bridesmaid. They also encounter various characters, including a pair of misfit British women, Hazel and Maureen. Though Maureen and Decker hit it off, Bancroft sees the women—who are unaware of the men’s terminal condition—as a distraction from his quest with Decker.
