Meanwhile, Fabian Sawatzki (Fabian Busch), a freelance reporter who still lives with his mutter and is about to lose his job at a huge TV channel, happens to have captured on camera the very first moment the nazi leader wakes up.

That’s when the humor kicks off, also: Hitler even considers all of that was done by some kind of war style espionage service, which created a whole new parallel world just in order to prank him – pretentious, huh? Plus, he even gets dazzled by a common cereal bar: “industrially pressed grain? Are there still shortly supplies for bread? This is surprisingly sweet!” Clearly disturbed, looking for his bunker and thinking he’s still in 1945, he is firstly found by a kind newsagent owner who starts taking care of him, thinking he is some sort of crazy actor who takes his job very seriously. The story begins in Berlin, with a very confused Adolf Hitler (Oliver Masucci) mysteriously waking up in 2014. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong, though – on “Er Ist Wieder Da” (Look Who’s Back) he IS actually back, and very much alive! Some agree he did kill himself in 1945 and died in his bunker alongside his lover Eva Braun, and some, on the other hand, discredit this common belief.

Based on a book that carries the same title, Look Who’s Back (2015) gives us a perspective –built on humor and a sour dose of social criticism – on how things would be like if the Führer actually came back to life.
