"Bon Schuur Ticino" - a biting comedy about language politics, identity and love in a state of emergency. Followed by a discussion with director Peter Luisi.
What happens if a popular initiative decides that Switzerland will only speak French in future?
Welcome to the fast-paced comedy "Bon Schuur Ticino" by Peter Luisi, starring Beat Schlatter and Vincent Kucholl.
The well-behaved federal policeman Walter Egli, whose French is abysmal, is supposed to accompany the transition to monolingualism - and ends up in the middle of an absurd state of emergency.
Resistance forms in Ticino, tanks roll over the Gotthard, and Walter falls in love with a Ticino woman while his Swiss colleague secretly monitors him.
A film full of satire, suspense and linguistic wit - one of the most successful Swiss films of all time with over 400,000 moviegoers.
