Comic artist Brösel trades a magic pen that helps him come up with funny stories for the promise to fulfill one of Rumpelstiltskin's wishes. The resulting animated films show episodes of the life of Werner, a plumber apprentice and motorbike enthusiast and his friends. They are interspersed with the live-action portions.
Practical Effects
Bizarre live-action/animation hybrid that looks like nothing else.
Sound
Klaus Büchner's voice work makes Werner an iconically obnoxious everyman.

Faithful translation of Rötger Feldmann's underground comic aesthetic.
