Millionaire Tramp

Vin Diesel plays Neville Dalton, an English self-made millionaire who has left his life of luxury to persue his dream of working as a baker in 19th century Liepzig.
He leaves his entire fortune to his pet dog, Roger, and buys a one-way ticket to Germany.
Unfortunately Dalton cannot speak a single word of German, is not prepared to learn the language and finds that he doesn't like the German folk speaking German at him all the time.
As a consequence, Dalton fails to find work.
Starving almost to death he is conned into being bummed by a wealthy German businessman (played by Ralph Fiennes) for money - which he doesn't receive.
After being bummed by a fellow homeless person (played by Bill Paxton), Dalton dies of starvation.
He is then bummed by the wealthy German businessman again, who also then unexpectedly bums his maid Olga - played by Jessica Alba. At least, she wasn't expecting it.
Dalton's body is then dumped into the sea by the locals.
The end.
