A rather unflattering depiction of rich first world tourists and business people (in this case Germans, but I think it would apply to anyone) stuck in a third world airport departure lounge due to a flight delay.
Slow, repetitive, and in many cases overstated, you do eventually get the feeling that you are also stuck somewhere , waiting for something to happen. The film does however make the point that even people from economically affluent and well organised countries remain at heart uncivilised and crude, and when left to themselves with nothing to do (and enough to drink), the thin veneer of civility and refinement will peel away and expose their barbarism.
There are a few good laughs, and film will appeal to people concerned about the unequal distribution of wealth between the rich "north" and the poor "south" of the globe, and the seedier aspects of exploitation such as "sex tourism", but overall the film lacks substance and interesting surprises.
