A crazy referendum plunges Switzerland into a state of emergency. With the adoption of the “No Bilangue” initiative, French becomes the country’s only official language. Federal civil servant Walter Egli, who barely speaks French himself, is tasked with infiltrating the resistance movement in Ticino. The political satire Bonjour Switzerland exposes the absurdity of language policies by blending slapstick road movie with a sharp critique of bureaucracy and identity politics in multicultural Switzerland. Filmed in five languages ​​– Swiss German, French, Italian, Romansh, and English – the film became one of the ten most watched in the country.
