This is a disturbing scene from "Stroszek", a 1977 film by Werner Herzog.The plot below is taken from Wikipedia.Bruno Stroszek (Bruno S.) is a Berlin street singer. Released from prison and warned to stop drinking, he immediately goes to a bar where he befriends Eva (Eva Mattes), a prostitute down on her luck, whom he lets stay with him. After they are harried and beaten by Eva's former pimps, they decide to leave Germany and accompany Bruno's eccentric elderly neighbour Scheitz (Clemens Scheitz), who was planning to move to Wisconsin to live with his American nephew.In that winter-bound, barren prairie, Bruno works as a mechanic, Eva as a waitress and Scheitz pursues his interest in animal magnetism. The pair buy a trailer, but, as bills mount the bank threatens to repossess it. Eva falls back into prostitution to supplement her wages, but it is not enough. She tires of Bruno's drunken ramblings and deserts him by leaving with a couple of truck drivers bound for Vancouver.A man from the bank visits Bruno, who is now drinking steadily, and has him sign off on the repossession. The home is auctioned, and he and Scheitz, who is convinced that it is all a conspiracy, set off to confront the "conspiracy." Finding the bank closed, they hold up a barber shop adjacent to it, and then go shopping in a small grocery store across the street. The police arrive and arrest Scheitz, leaving Bruno. Holding a large, frozen turkey and the gun, Bruno returns to the garage where he works, loads the truck with many beers, and drives off. When his truck breaks, he eats and tells his story to a German speaking business man at a restaurant. Then he goes into a tourist trap across the street, where he rides a ski lift with his frozen turkey. After Bruno disappears from view a single shot rings out, presumably his suicide. The film ends with a sequence showing a dancing chicken, a duck playing a bass drum and a rabbit riding a toy fire truck.
