Germany 1983. In these early Otto Shows we see the most famous sketches and stage programs by Otto Waalkes. Otto appears alone in various roles and plays the guitar and the harp. He can be seen as a sports reporter, gives fashion and consumer tips, gives a "Word for Sunday" and plays a "Faust" parody. In commercials he brings hair products, health cigarettes, gentle coffee and an integrated remote control.

Mimosa is about a girl growing up in an orphanage who tries to make life fun for all the residents. It's a great Easter story, an animated fairy tale about a witch kid and what she's up to in the orphanage while the mother witch whips around with her broom.
