In Swiss-German and German with English subtitles • A garden party on Switzerland's trendy Gold Coast goes irreparably awry in this dramatic investigation into the overlapping of work and private life. Attempting to rebound from the suicide of a business partner, some shady business dealings and a current cash flow problem, host and formerly successful businessman Hans Peter “H.P.” Ammann (Michael Neuenschwander) tries to sell his boss (Georg Scharegg) on a nanotechnology deal in Latvia. Also in attendance are the men's wives, a dishy au pair and an upwardly mobile trainee who might be after H.P.'s job. As the sun sets, tempers fray, too many drinks are guzzled and various indiscretions, business and personal, are exposed. No one is left unscathed, while it seems that the evening's revelations have benefited at least some in this gathering. Director Stina Werenfels and co-screenwriter Petra Lüschow ably capture the event's ebb and flow, with stellar performances by the ensemble cast. — R. Armstrong
