Nicholas Ovcharik reaches out for a pepper pistol

In Harz, Bavaria and Switzerland, grandmothers’ coffee grinders will not be safe for the next few weeks. This is where cinema will be remade صنع Written by Ottfried Breusler the classic children’s book “Der Räuber Hotzenplotz”. Castle actor and eccentric filmmaker Nicholas Ovcharek will star in the lead role. The rest of the cast is also well represented.

Beloved grandmother’s coffee mill (Hedi Kriegeskotte) has been stolen: Kasperl (Hans Marquardt) and his friend Seppel (Benedikt Jenke) set out to catch cunning thief Hotzenplotz (Ofczarek). Unfortunately, they end up in the hands of the thief and evil sorcerer Petroselius Zwakelmann (August Diehl). There they discover the beautiful fairy Amaryllis (Luna Wedler), who must now also be set free. Police officer detective Dempfelmoser (Ule Dietrich) and fortune-teller Schlutterbeek (Christian Bull) with her dachshund, who has turned into an alligator, cause further confusion.

Michael Kruminacher directed, and Matthias Bakht made the text a bestseller. “Räuber Hotzenplotz” is a Clausen + Putz Film Production in co-production with Zodiac Pictures, STUDIOCANAL, ZDF, SRF, SRG SSR, and Blue scheduled for cinema release on April 7, 2022.
