Run time: 95 min. | Germany
A young zombie named Otto appears on a remote highway. He has no idea where he came from or where he is going. After hitching a ride to Berlin and nesting in an abandoned amusement park, he begins to explore the city. Soon he is discovered by underground filmmaker Medea Yarn, who begins to make a documentary about him with the support of her girlfriend, Hella Bent, and her brother, Adolf, who operates the camera.

Meanwhile, Medea is trying to finish "Up with Dead People," an epic political-porno-zombie movie that she has been working on for years. She convinces its star, Fritz Fritze, to allow the vulnerable Otto to stay in his guest bedroom. But when Otto discovers a wallet in his back pocket that contains information about his past (before he was dead) he begins to remember a few details, including memories of his ex-boyfriend, Rudolf.

Anything with zombies, I love! This was experimental parody, a little slow in spots, but interesting. More explicit than I thought it would be. I saw things I've never seen before, and when you can say hat it's good.
