A hot summer day in Berlin. Otto Waalkes reports that his first school report said: “Otto is talkative and undisciplined”. During the following hour, the 72-year-old does nothing to refute this impression. He picks up the guitar twice and plays “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and the “Babysitter Boogie”. His new film “Catweazle” starts in theaters on July 1st. In the family comedy he plays a magician who is catapulted from the 11th century into the present.
