Denmark

Herb�s life is a mess. He�s lost his welfare, can�t hold a job, can�t talk to his son, has a neighbour who won�t shut up and a diet that consists mainly of cheap beer and mushy peas. It�s no way to live and he knows it. Then he learns from a TV news report that Danish prisoners have it way better than he does: a job, accessible healthcare, the quiet of the countryside, even an HDTV. They�re practically living in hotels. He says goodbye (and good riddance) to his dingy flat and smuggles himself to Denmark aboard a cargo ship, landing in a quaint town with everything he needs -- including a bank to rob. But when he meets a friendly local barmaid and a lovable stray dog that won�t leave his side, he begins to wonder if prison really is his only chance of a fulfilling life.
