The Consulate General of Switzerland in Vancouver announces the upcoming screening of Swiss-Italian coproduction “Bonjour Switzerland” / “Ciao-Ciao Bourbine” by director Peter Luisi.
A referendum throws Switzerland into a state of emergency. Switzerland shall from now on only have one national language: French.
In consequence, many German- and Italian-speaking Swiss are in a state of crisis. Among them is fifty-six-year-old Walter Egli, who works for the federal police and has to ensure that the transition to monolingualism is carried out properly. Although he speaks little French himself, he is sent to Ticino with a French-speaking partner to uncover a Ticino resistance group that is fighting the new law by any means necessary.
The film will be shared during the weekend of the Swiss National Day and it will be available from August 1-5, 2024. Access is free of charge.
Languages spoken in the film: German, French, Italian. [CH-IT, 2023, comedy, 88 min.]
Subtitles: French and English.
