Synopsis

Best friends Hugo (Hugo Metsers) and Goof (Roeland Fernhout) set up a scam picking up female backpackers newly arrived in Amsterdam. They sleep with them, rob them, then tear a page out of their passports to keep as a memento. The boys' goal is to take a trip around the world from within Amsterdam.

This set-up comes under threat when seasoned traveller Lara (Vlatca Simac) enters the fray. Goof is immediately smitten and becomes obsessed with the idea of taking her to Siberia to see the country of her childhood. Much to Hugo's disgust, Goof invites Lara to move into their apartment. Now the rules of the game have changed, life gets very complicated.

Junkie XL wrote the original music score for SIBERIA and are now touring extensively in Europe and USA.
