Early Birds

After a wild night of partying on Zurich's Langstrasse, where things got a little out of hand, Caro and Annika flee from drug dealers into the mountains. Close on their heels is a hard-boiled, coke-snorting cop who's not averse to the odd bit of violent behaviour. After SENNENTUNTSCHI, WOLKENBRUCH and UND MORGEN SEID IHR TOT, the successful Swiss director Michael Steiner returns to the ZFF with EARLY BIRDS. Anatole Taubman, Nilam Farooq and Swiss shooting star Silvana Synovia shine at the protagonists in his modern, night-feverishly-neo-noir thriller underpinned by pounding techno beats. A cool film from zurich loud, fast and cheeky.
