Film "Berezina or the Last Days of Switzerland"

"Die cheibe Bräme – die cheibe Schwiizer": As in the song of the trio Geschwister Schmid, the men buzz around Yelena Panova's Irina like Bremen – until she strikes back. Daniel Schmid's satire on Switzerland has lost none of its bite even after more than 20 years. And the last 25 minutes are still among the funniest in Swiss film history. It is also the story of a moustache. Namely, that of business lawyer Dr. Waldvogel, who loses a bit of his moustache after every evening visit to Irina. Like his upper lip, Switzerland is increasingly exposed – as a country full of power-hungry people who end up kneeling in front of a young immigrant not only in the bedroom. The screenplay by bestselling author Martin Suter is full of poison arrows against the mendacity, superficiality and selfishness in our country.
Schmid and Suter also treat their homeland with a lot of love. With Irina, they use the gaze of an outsider who captures the beauty of the country in beautiful, broken German words – and even Swiss German songs. Touching and very funny.
