The Sparrow in the Chimney
Ramon Zürcher
Karen (Maren Eggert) and Markus stay with their children in Bern, where Karen grew up. Jule (Britta Hammelstein), Karen's sister, and her family come to celebrate a birthday. Memories of their late mother stir Jule's desire to resist Karen's control and secrets set alight a fire, blazing and renewing. The final instalment in the Swiss twin brothers Ramon and Silvan's (producer) 'animal trilogy' is both a fairytale and a horror story. This Locarno-debuting film frees itself from the dictates of society and personal pasts, and plunges into the wild and abysmal cosmos of family.
