Under Blue Skies
We regularly present new discoveries and significant works of contemporary Swiss cinema in collaboration with the Consulate General of Switzerland in Montreal, as part of their Swiss Film Club Canada.
In the breathtaking mountain landscape of the Engadine, under a deep blue sky, a drama unfolded in the 1980s: in the wake of the Zurich youth movement, heroin also found its way to the Upper Engadine. The tragic fate of many young people still divides the local community. Under Blue Skies breaks the silence for the first time and initiates a process of reconciliation.
