Thriller

Film Synopsis

Dario Cerruti and Yacine Brahem are two film students who are busy making a film documentary about Caroline Gautier, the head of the security department in a Swiss canton.  It so happens that Gautier is about to savour a moment of triumph.  After months of hard negotiation, she has finally succeeded in getting a man released from Guantanamo Bay, and she intends deriving as much political capital from this as possible - hence her willingness to appear in Dario and Yacine's film.  But nothing goes quite as planned.  The aeroplane carrying the released prison detainee lands at the wrong airport, thanks to the intervention of Ruedi Knobel.  The head of a large construction company, Knobel seeks to use this to help him secure some lucrative work in China...
