Lina (2016)
90min | Swiss German | Directed by: Michael Schaerer | Script: Jan Poldervaart | Production: Anne Walser (C-FILMS AG) | Coproduction: SRF
It is one of the dark chapters of Swiss history: Until 1981, it was possible to lock people away even without a court verdict or psychiatric report, be it for "work-shyness", "vicious lifestyle" or "dissoluteness"; mainly young people were affected. The feature film "LINA" tells the story of Lina, a young woman who was administratively cared for by the authorities and thus deprived of a normal life. A fate representative of many, based on true events in Switzerland!
