Bon Schuur Ticino

Plot: The «No bilingue» initiative demands only one national language from now on! The result: a crazy referendum that throws Switzerland into a chaotic state of emergency. Especially when it actually became national: Switzerland would become monolingual - French! Many citizens experience a crisis as a result. This includes Walter Egli (played by Swiss Comedian Beat Schlatter), who works for the federal police, doesn't speak a lick of French and has to make sure that the transition to monolingualism goes smoothly. Together with his French partner, he is tasked with uncovering a resistance group sprouting up in the south of Switzerland, which is fighting against the implementation of the initiative by any means necessary. - Finally, a laughing movie theater again! - Peter Luisi's Swiss comedy about the possibility of a monolingual (read: French) Switzerland is not only original, but also thoroughly Swiss. With the plot motif of a resistance group, the story threatens to descend into pure slapstick, but manages to find its feet with wit, charm and esprit. It's also nice that a director finally manages to tell his story in ninety minutes again (and doesn't need three or more hours to do so).
