SYNOPSIS

A crazy referendum throws Switzerland into a state of emergency. The adoption of the "NO BILANGUE" initiative sanctions that from now on only one national language will be accepted: French. Many German-speaking Swiss enter a crisis. Walter Egli (56), who works for the Federal Police and must ensure that the transition to monolingualism goes smoothly, is one of them. Although he barely speaks French, he must travel to Ticino with a French-speaking partner to investigate a Ticino resistance group that is fighting against monolingualism with all the means at its disposal.
