North American Premiere
92 mins. Narrative Feature Film. Switzerland (2014). BD. In German with English subtitles.
Winner of four 2014 Swiss Film Awards, including Best Film.
It's at the end of the eighties, and the hedonist Ernst (Marcus Signer, 2014 Swiss Film Award Best Actor), whom everyone calls "Goalie," returns to the small town of Schummertal after spending one year in prison. This is where he grew up; everyone here knows him. Goalie wants a new start, this time a life without drugs. He looks for a job and falls in love with a waitress named Regula (Sonja Riesen). It doesn't matter to him that his best friend Ueli thinks he has become bourgeois. Strong-willed, somewhat naive and with a great deal of charm, he wants to get his life back on the right track. But just as his life is about to take a lucky turn, his past catches up with him. --Swiss Films
