THE WORLD
Far from the rest of the world, on a Swiss farm on the mountainside, a family lives to the rhythm of the seasons. A tender bond binds the two children, the boy called "the bouèbe", born deaf and mute, and Belli, who fulfills her thwarted vocation as a teacher by teaching him to read and write. After a violent argument with his father, the teenager runs away to the mountain pastures. His sister goes to find him...
Golden Leopard at the 1985 Locarno Festival, Soul Mate is the greatest success of Swiss filmmaker Fredi M. Murer ( Zone grise , Vitus ). In this open-air huis clos, the quiet beauty of the landscapes elevates everyday life, giving it a metaphysical color. Within this silent family soon struck by tragedy, the director creates a space of freedom for the blossoming of body and cinematographic language. An absolute masterpiece of Swiss cinema, Soul Mate is to be discovered for the first time on Blu-ray™ in its restored version!
