Ein Abriss der Geschichte einiger Schweizer Politikerinnen im 20. Jahrhundert.

Die Schweiz war eines der letzten Länder der Welt, das den Frauen Stimm- und Wahlrecht gewährte. Dieser Film bietet einen Überblick über ein Jahrhundert Schweizer Geschichte. Im Blickpunkt stehen die Frauen, die dafür gekämpft haben, ihre Küche zu verlassen – und diejenigen, die sich dorthin zurück zu verbannen suchten – bis hin zum Erreichen der Gleichstellung, wobei diese in Wirklichkeit bisweilen noch auf recht schwachen Füssen zu stehen scheint.

Der Film wird als 90′, aktualisierte Version mit aktuellen Politikerinnen wie Sarah Akanji, Tamara Funicello und Marina Carobbio Guscetti zur Verfügung stehen.

A tax haven in Switzerland, a half-hearted fight against tax evaders in Germany, a formerly wealthy African country that was led into the abyss by world market prices of raw materials: What at first glance seem to have nothing to do with each other stands for a global economic system that determines all our lives – and the filmmaker is right in the middle of it.

Zwischen Ziegen, Kühen und Alpen wird Fabiano (38) Vater. Doch die Idylle trügt: Er ist bemüht den Alpkäse so herzustellen wie das seine Aussteiger-Eltern in den 70er machten. Neben Schulden nagen auch noch Schuldgefühle an ihm. Im Vorjahr verunfallte ein mazedonischer Schwarzarbeiter tödlich. Seitdem lässt sein Tod Fabiano nicht mehr los. Wie können er und seine Freundin Eva unter so schwierigen Umständen ein gemeinsames Leben mit ihrem Nachwuchs aufbauen?

Vor der imposanten und bedrückend-stillen Kulisse der Tessiner Alpen, entpuppt sich Aldo Gugolz’ Film als spannende Gratwanderung zwischen Kriminalfall und feinfühliges Portrait eines jungen Landwirten.

“You’re too baked, sweetheart”, says Mads’ mother after greeting him with a kiss on the lips. In this family it is okay to bend the law, as long as you do it right. A twisted lesson the 17-year-old Ida is about to learn. Having recently lost her mother in a car accident, she has been taken in by her aunt and three cousins, whom she barely knows. Theirs is a loving home, but it soon transpires that the family, led by its caring but disciplinarian matriarch, engages in criminal activities. As boundaries keep on being pushed, Ida finds herself torn between her safety and the allure of her cousins’ ferocious behaviour. When the clan descends into conflict with the police, Ida has to decide what is more dear to her: the loyalty to her new family or her own life.
Featuring a superb central performance by newcomer Sandra Guldberg Kampp, Jeanette Nordahl’s fiercely intelligent debut is an arresting study of family and dysfunctionality, the nourishing and burdensome nature of love, and the complexity of desire. An impressive mix of remarkable camerawork, exquisite writing, and a visceral, electronic score. An intense film that runs deep.
