Despite being slow sometimes (it may have been the reason for so many bad rating for this nice film), this is a very innovative and clever film from Switzerland. Indeed, it is a movie that criticizes the country's comfortable place and widespread cynical positions throughout history until nowadays. Besides the social political issues, it is also an interesting film in the way it has been conceived and organized: made by ten different directors, it does not show the bizarre upcoming storm that will devastate Switzerland (an no other place!) from a single perspective, but showing several interesting characters, such as a couple in crisis, a football ultra who supports Young Boys, a Croatian cab driver, his family and a rich passenger, a manager of a supermarket dealing with chaos due the fear of shortage, a mother and her daughter, followers of a fascist agitator, a policewoman with a taint in her recent past, a worker in an insurance company, an old woman who lives alone, and so forth. The flaw in the film, more serious than an initial sluggish pace, is that, among these various parallel stories (some o them quite violent), not all of them are well developed and some of them have confusing or non-existent ends.
