Anna is 40. She is always in a rush. She has three children, a husband, a job and financial stress.

She feels she is losing him. And she feels she can’t always evade what comes next. A clash between the everyday, the unbearably monotonous and the fragile and unique.

There’s a ripple of disquiet in the locker-room when Leon, a new striker, joins the football team.

His wife seems to have fallen out of love with him, and his mother has become old and is slowly losing her mind. Worst of all, film directors across the city are being murdered one after the other, but the serial killer is inexplicably ignoring him.

All these frustrations come to a head when, through a series of bizarre misunderstandings, he becomes the prime suspect in the serial murder case. Social media are abuzz, Hasan has to come up with an ingenious plan to restore his reputation...

A Film by Markus Imhoof (MORE THAN HONEY)
2018 - Documentary - Switzerland/Germany - 1.85 - 92 min
In the lean years of World War II, the family of Swiss director Markus Imhoof took in Giovanna, an Italian refugee part of a limited-term program for children. When her stay ended, Giovanna was forced to return to Italy, where she died of illness soon after.
With this early experience as a point of entry to the ongoing refugee crisis, Imhoof takes us on a journey with extraordinary access through the Italian warships of Operation Mare Nostrum, refugee camps handled by the italian Mafia, asylum hearings with local authorities, all designed to turn back refugees at all levels.
What emerges is a stark picture of a human tragedy and the biggest mass displacement of people since World War II.
