1987 Movie Germany Romance, Comedy 82 min FSK 0
By: Xaver Schwarzenberger, Otto Waalkes With: Ute Sander, Otto Waalkes, Friedrich Schoenfelder, Dirk Dautzenberg, Joachim Kemmer

He is Ostfriesland's answer to Rambo and stands between two worlds, two women, and two animals. While he tries to heal a dog with inhibition biting and a cat with suicidal tendencies, the dream of his sleepless nights crosses his path: Gaby - beautiful like an elf, cold as a dog's nose. Otti courts like a rutting deer, but Gaby only thinks of Amboss, the rabiate - a real guy with muscles of steel and a brain of foam rubber.
