Otto Anderson is a grump who no longer sees purpose in his life following the loss of his wife. Otto is ready to end it all, but his final exit plans are interrupted when a lively young family moves next door, where he meets his match in quick-witted Marisol. She challenges him to see life differently, leading to an unlikely friendship that turns his world around. A heartwarming and funny story about love, loss and life, A Man Called Otto shows that family can sometimes be found in the most unexpected places.
