He wants to be a good worker, a great husband, a caring father, an artist, a clown, and a politician—all at the same time.

People like him are everywhere. And they offend others everywhere.

Whisky Mit Wodka

Otto, an old film actor, refuses to adapt to the changes in the industry where there is no longer a place for long rehearsals. Understanding the psychology of the character matters little when one hour lost is equal to 10,000 euros. As a result of the complaints of screenwriters and producers, Otto is replaced in a film by a much younger actor. This comedy has been acclaimed for its ironic analysis of what it is like to become old in our time.
