About Otto – The Alien from East Frisia
Otto is the only one who is able to save his Frisian fatherland; but he needs the help of his brother, who is abroad. But his brother does not want to fulfill what he has sworn as a child. So it takes Otto a while to convince him while time is running low for his plans to save East-Frisia.
Directed by Otto Waalkes, Marijan David Vajda, Otto – The Alien from East Frisia leans on a strong ensemble — Otto Waalkes, Barbara May, Hans Peter Hallwachs — 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 1989.
