Director: Lionel Baier
Lionel lives the good life: a steady job with Swiss Radio, a handsome boyfriend and a totally supportive family. But still, something is missing. Tales of the American western frontier help him fill the void. |
Suddenly, he finds out that his ancestors may, in fact, be Polish. Now he is obsessed with all things Poland, including an undocumented Polish woman he meets on the street. Ultimately, he persuades his sister to take off with him for points east, and on the way, they discover their true selves. Director Lionel Baier, born in Switzerland of Polish descent, has clearly used his own background as the basis for this warm, witty and authentic voyage of discovery.
