As the illness of melancholia spreads rapidly amongst the population, the Swiss government attempts to manage the situation. Science-fiction at its finest in this masterpiece of Swiss cinema.
Alfred M. is a sound hunter, he does phone tapping for a big company. One Friday, late in the day, he believes he is witnessing an abduction. At the same time, the radio is talking about a strange pandemic. A grey and murky weekend begins: in Alfred's daily life, as in Zurich at the end of the 1970s, the climate turns to paranoia. Selected at Locarno in 1979, this emblematic film by the monumental Fredi M. Murer plays with fiction and documentary to better blend fantasy and reality.
