SCHWARZARBEIT
Schweiz 2022 – Director: Ulrich Grossenbacher – English subtitles, Q&A with Ulrich Grossenbacher (dir.), Barbara Burger (prod.) – Length: 109 min.
They come in pairs, always unannounced, and they nearly always find what they are looking for: the labour inspectors in the canton of Bern on the hunt for workers that are illegally employed. Who are the victims and who are the villains? A film that takes a clear position and recounts its investigative search like a thriller. Ysabel Fantou
We present the German premiere of the film.
