Plot

"The Dissidents" is a lively action comedy that whisks us back to the vibrant era of the 1980s. It follows the adventurous journey of three audacious Estonian men who, inspired by the glamorous lifestyles portrayed in TV series like "Miami Vice", "Knight Rider", and "Santa Barbara", decide to escape the confines of the Soviet Union in pursuit of freedom and fame. Upon their arrival, the Swedes hail them as true heroes, valiantly breaking away from the Iron Curtain's grasp. However, as the initial media frenzy subsides, they soon find themselves unceremoniously relegated to the status of ordinary immigrants. To make ends meet, they are forced to confront the harsh reality of work, a concept they find almost as foreign as their new surroundings. But these enterprising men are far from disheartened. They concoct a series of outlandish schemes designed to cement their place in the Western world, catapulting them into a whirlwind of chaos that is as hilarious as it is unpredictable. "The Dissidents" is a wild roller-coaster ride, where dreams collide with reality and nothing goes as planned.
