Based on the # 1 New York Times bestseller “A Man Called Ove,” A Man Called Otto tells the story of
Otto Anderson (Tom Hanks), 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 plans are interrupted when a lively young family moves
in next door, and 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.
