Peter Luisi, 88 minutes, Comedy, Swiss German with Arabic and English subtitles, 2023, Switzerland. 

A crazy referendum throws Switzerland into a state of emergency. By the acceptance of the initiative “No Bilangue” there should be from now on only one national language: French. Many German-speaking Swiss are therefore having a crisis. Including fifty-six-year-old Walter Egli, who works for the Federal Police and must ensure that the transition to monolingualism is carried out properly. Although he hardly speaks any 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 all means necessary. 

The film won the Audience Choice Award for Best Fiction Feature at the 2024 Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival and was nominated for the Best Screenplay (Bestes Drehbuch) Award at the 2024 Swiss Film Prize.
