Movie information in first post provided by The Movie Database
There are very few movies that can get me to choke up, and this one had me a couple of times.

It's about a man who made his wife the only thing in his world, and when she passed, he had nothing else to fall back on for support or the want to keep going. The beginning of the movie is kind of startling with a noose scene that sets the tone, but each time a new attempt occurs, something seems to stop it from happening as if he's supposed to do something greater in life before he passes away.

He's able to rebuild friendships and even create new ones before he passed away from natural causes, leaving everything behind to his new friends.
 
It's a good movie, and what it teaches us is that friends can make us feel much better when we are going through challenges. Otto was a lonely man, but Marisol came into the picture and she changed everything with her kindness. It also shows that anyone can find happiness with just a little help from others.
 
"A Man Called Otto" is one of the heartwarming movies I have watched so far. It tells the story of Otto, an old man who becomes friends with Marisol. Despite being a pregnant lady. He finds joy in her, and that was what helped him feel less lonely, and he eventually finds joy again. Very interesting movie!
