Quiet Terror

»Schwendener succeeds in producing local colorite – not pushy, not touristic, simply with a good look at young people who live in Zurich.« NZZ am Sonntag on „Stilles Gift“ (Quiet Poison).

Sirine is frantic – she witnesses a murder, yet she can’t report it to the police. For she lives in Switzerland illegally, she is “undocumented”. Uncertain about what to do, she tells her friends Rena, Tom and Nico. Tom sees his big opportunity to impress Rena by finding the killer. A promising lead takes him to a football fanclub notorious for its violence. What no one knows – the killer has been keeping up with Sirinie’s friends and is on Tom’s heels. Should Sirine still keep quiet? A highly dramatic thriller that poses controversial questions about “undocumented” aliens, the law and injustice.
