Die Ente klingelt um ½ 8

BR Deutschland Italien 1968 Spielfilm

The Duck Rings at Half Past Seven

Computer engineer Dr. Alexander is a rational thinking and extremely precise scientist. But when he is stopped by the police for a routine check and claims full of excitement that he has just collided with an elephant, Dr. Alexander is sent to a mental home straightaway. But the ingenious scientist is telling the truth! Thus, with his sharp wit and his deadpan humour, Dr. Alexander turns the orderly life in the mental home completely upside down.
