HELLO BETTY

​

Betty Bossi is still considered the "nation's cook". She first appeared in 1956 and quickly became a cult figure. She represented the perfect Swiss housewife, so to speak, and promptly received countless marriage proposals. Even today, many people in Switzerland believe that Betty Bossi exists. However, she was merely a fictitious marketing figure from the beginning. 

​

"Hello Betty" is set in Switzerland in the 1950s and tells the story of the lives of a women: the copywriter EMMI CREOLA (43), who has to market the products of an edible oil company and in the process invents the fictional character Betty Bossi.

In 2020 the Swiss television SRF, ZDF and the "Washington Post" revealed that the CIA and the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND), through the Swiss front company CRYPTO AG, had been selling allegedly bug-proof crypto devices halfway around the world for decades. What nobody suspected: the Americans and the Germans were able to use them to decrypt all secret communications. The Swiss intelligence service also profited from this. And, as of recently, we know that the CIA owned a second company in Switzerland, OMNISEC. One of its clients was the major Swiss bank UBS. However, the Swiss government did not know about this when they negotiated with the USA about Nazi gold and the banking secrecy.

"The CIA calls it the 'Largest Espionage Operation of the Century'"

Francis Lee Bailey is perhaps the most famous and, at the same time, most controversial lawyer in the USA.  He defended the "Boston Strangler", the doctor "Sam Sheppard" and the publisher-daughter Patty Hearst, among others. His most well known client, however, was certainly O.J. Simpson. He says of himself: "I have defended as many innocent defendants who were convicted as guilty, as guilty ones who were acquitted".

"I am not Stiller." It is this very first sentence with which Max Frisch begins his novel "Stiller" that is difficult to get out of the minds of his readers. We learn everything and at the same time nothing about the hero who will lead us through the rest of the story. Because the character makes it clear: he is not the Stiller we think he is, he has given himself a new name, a new history, a new nationality, a new identity.

The film version of this important novel by Max Frisch is a voyage of discovery into the depths of human identity: perhaps we will get to know this Stiller after all along the way, and with it, hopefully, a little bit of ourselves...

A documentary about the history of the Kunsthaus Zürich, which has never been covered on film before. The film is intended to take the viewer on a journey through time. In the process, they will experience the history of this "art house", the development of Zurich into a city of culture and also learn a lot about the relationship of Swiss society to the art of its time. 

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in exploring new landscapes, but in seeing old things with new eyes" (Marcel Proust).
