For Switzerland, Betty Bossi is sort of a mother of the nation. She first appeared in 1956 as the embodiment of a witty and, above all, “perfect” housewife. She is the author of countless cookbooks and the dispenser of endless advice on housekeeping. It's rare for a Swiss household not to have at least a small collection of these publications. With the advent of the internet, most of them became available in digital form. Betty Bossi is a good indicator of how the flavours of Switzerland – and with them, its society – have developed over the decades. Meals based on her recipes are produced and sold in supermarkets. But, fun fact: even in Switzerland, a lot of people don't know that she is completely made up, a fictional character. It was originally a cooking-oil producer that invented Betty Bossi, with the aim being to use her as a brand ambassador. Her ascent was made possible in collaboration with one of the two biggest supermarket chains in the country.

In the lush Swiss countryside, single mom Judith is raising her young daughter Milla while running the family fish farm with the help of worker and friend Gabriel. The three live and labor quietly in their peaceful corner of the world. When the unexpected arrival of Gabriel’s brother threatens that tranquility, the specter of impending disaster casts a shadow over their pastoral life. When the devastation comes, it’s chilling. This taut thriller poses provocative questions about the weight of guilt, the complexity of forgiveness, and the price of redemption.
