The drama 111 tells the story of the tragic crash of Swissair 111 into the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Halifax, Nova Scotia, on 2 September 1998. The catastrophe itself is never shown, but is subliminally always palpable. The film follows several fates affected by the tragedy and paints a bigger picture: the crash had a profound impact not only on those directly affected, but also on Switzerland and people around the world, and changed the environment around Halifax forever.

111 is a tragic film, but one that celebrates life. This fateful crash changed so many different lives in an instant, uniting them through the shared grief and shock of this sudden, incomprehensible tragedy. But ultimately, the film highlights how such a loss changes our perspective on life and what is important. That is the story we want to tell.
