Neader-Jin

OK, think 'Encino Man' without Brendan Fraser & Pauly Shore. Toss in some sly European humor. Now add a touch of class. Mix with just the right amount of tongue in cheek and send it back & forth in time. That's 'Neander-Jin'

Here's the trailer. Caution: for those who don't like F-Bombs, there is one and only one at the beginning.

Directed by Florian Steinbiss
With Sarah Mühlhause, Jon Chardiet, Milton Welsh, Martin Jarvis and Jeff Hixon. Read more »
