Otto - The Movie

“Awarded Six Ottifants”

Otto (Otto Waalkes), a young man from East Friesia, arrives in Hamburg and is soon in debt to a loan shark (Peter Kuiper). He is also chasing Silvia (Jessika Cardinahl), the daughter of the wealthy Consul Von Kohlen und Reibach (Elisabeth Wiedemann), and has no idea how to get her to notice him. Waalkes co-directed with Xaver Schwarzenberger, and Otto has to find the money and his nerve before the loan comes due.
