About Harald
The alien Harald has booked a package holiday on Earth and is trying to find shelter at science fiction editor Rita Reichmans flat. Her admirer Frido Lipinski so not amused because Rita seems to succumb to Haralds charm. But Harald also has quite a few problems in learning the rules of conduct of the earthlings and that he cannot lie, complicates the situation.
Directed by Jürgen Egger, Harald leans on a strong ensemble — Heinrich Schafmeister, Martina Gedeck, Ingo Naujoks — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1997.
