What Is Umpa About?
The premise of Umpa without spoilers.
Jack Osterman meets a woman on a park bench and becomes fixated on repeating “Umpa” for the rest of the film. His obsession lands him in a doctor’s office and introduces flamboyant, singing‑and‑dancing nurse temptresses. In fully rhyming dialogue, “Umpa” becomes a mantra for the stubborn urge that drives people to absurd actions with determination.
