Synopsis:

Otto is a neo-Goth zombie with an identity crisis. He looks and smells like a zombie but is not sure that he actually is one. One day, he ducks into an alley to escape a bunch of hooligans and spots a poster announcing auditions for a zombie film. Soon, he meets up with filmmaker/revolutionary Medea Yarn, who is convinced that Otto, as a confused zombie, is the perfect candidate to demonstrate the effects of advanced capitalism on individuals. Medea decides to make a film about Otto, while simultaneously shooting a film about a gay zombie revolt against consumerist society. After moving in with an actor, Otto begins to remember fragments of his pre-zombie life with a sweet boyfriend. As Medea directs the final scene of her gay zombie film, Otto struggles to access the human emotions buried beneath his zombie exterior.

Gay zombie Otto is struggling to adapt to being undead and wanders the streets of Berlin. He encounters experimental filmmaker Medea with plans to make a political pornographic zombie film, who sees him as an ideal subject. Otto begins to remember aspects of his past and tries to meet up again with a former boyfriend.
