SWISS LOVE

Francesca and Pietro have been married in a civil ceremony, but mother wants a church rite; Agnès is expecting a baby but her lover and co-worker Robert won’t hear of it; Paul, Juliette and daughter Lisa, who believes in extraterrestrials, go on holiday like every year but daily routine dilutes feelings and is not easily overcome; Erika’s parrot doesn’t appear to be enough to keep from the olds folks home an elderly woman who thinks about an episode in her past with longing and nostalgia. To what unexpected end are these characters led, all casually thrown together at the Hotel Paradiso amidst green lawns, bell-tinkling cows and the flowers of love? The film consists of four stories with three episodes each, and a shared end. In the same span of time and action, and with the tones and pace of madcap comedy, each story tells the tale of protagonists coming from the four linguistic regions of the country. The multimedia device created at Arteplage of Yverdon for Expo02 allowed spectators to choose, at the end of each episode, which of the four following episodes to continue with. Audiences at Castellinaria will be offered six episo- des to choose from.
