THE UNINTENTIONAL KIDNAPPING OF ELFRIEDE OTT

by Andreas Prochaska

synopsis

For two years Horst has been collecting his dead grandmother’s retirement pension to help make ends meet. Everything runs smoothly until a local politician announces he will be coming by to officially wish the 95-year-old a happy birthday. Without thinking twice, his friend Toni “borrows” an old lady from the hospital as a stand-in. But instead of just any old lady, he has unintentionally grabbed the famous actress Elfriede Ott, which leads to a series of mix-ups and complications.
