Synopsis

DAS BOOT IST VOLL, DIE REISE, MORE THAN HONEY or ELDORADO. The titles of his films are mostly references to his own biography. Through their universal message, however, they are also testimonies to a unique oeuvre.

Markus Imhoof celebrates his 80th birthday on 19 September 2021. The time is ripe to pay tribute to him in a documentary film, but also to take a critical look back at a life and a body of work that tells us more about Switzerland than one might assume at first glance.
