AMUR SENZA FIN

HIDE & SEEK

Christoph Schaub
Switzerland, 2018, 91 Min

Gieri can’t get it up with his wife, which could be due to his affair with Mona. When Giulia finds out, she leaves him, opens a café and flirts with handsome Michael. Heavenly peace is supposed to come to the scandalised community by way of the new pastor who is of Indian descent. Instead of the Bible he preaches the Kamasutra ... Lively mainstream comedy almost entirely in Rhaeto-Romance – a language that is spoken by only 40,000 people.

When in early 2018 the public broadcasting system in Switzerland was up for renegotiation, its movers and shakers decided on a jump ahead: they produced a feature film in a ‘minority language’. They recruited the best talent in the Swiss film industry, including renown director Christoph Schaub and screenwriter Sabine Pochhammer, neither of them Rhaetians. Actors with this cultural background were cast, even though by now most of them mainly work outside the Rhaeto-Romance language region. In 2018, HIDE & SEEK opened the Locarno International Film Festival. A little later it was shown on prime-time Swiss television with German subtitles and received a great response. It proved a success also internationally: the US company CMG, a world distributor with a name for commercially successful mainstream cinema, bought the rights. An exemplary case: imagine it was Sorbian and everybody was watching! GL
