It’s at the end of the eighties, and the hedonist Ernst, whom everyone calls “Goalie,”
returns to the small town of Schummertal after spending one year in prison. This is
where he grew up; everyone here knows him. Goalie wants a new start, this time a
life without drugs. He looks for a job and falls in love with Regula, a waitress. It
doesn’t matter to him that his best friend Ueli thinks he has become bourgeois.
Strong-willed, somewhat naive and with a great deal of charm, he wants to get his
life back on the right track. But just as his life is about to take a lucky turn, his past
catches up with him.

It is April 1974 and Julie Dujonc-Renens, young feminist journalist and the cunning
Joseph-Marie Cauvin, leading reporter for the Swiss radio, have been sent to Portugal to investigate Switzerland’s aid to poor countries. Sparks fly during the bus trip
with Bob, sound engineer approaching retirement. The projects financed by Switzerland prove to be calamitous and the workers’ revolution that suddenly breaks out
doesn’t help, obliging our heroes to disregard first the radio’s management, and
then their own codes of conduct.

The film traces a reencounter years later between the director and his parents – and is an
attempt at a personal revision of the past. In the process, a new view of the parents
emerged, an image which also provides again and again insight into a bygone era. The
narrative of their marriage, however, borders on a classic drama and leaves us feeling forlorn and miserable even today.
