Paxmal

Two gay men set out on a train journey after losing a common friend to a homophobic attack when life slowly catches up with them. This short film starring known Swiss actor Carlos Leal and Peter Fischli is the third part of a small trilogy depicting quirky Swiss peculiarities. They stand on its own and work as a trilogy. It started in 2019 with the satire GARDEN PLOT („Pünt“) about threats against a community of allotment gardeners followed by ALPINE GETAWAY („Maiensäss“) in 2020, a black-and-white comedy about the overbooking of an Airbnb in the mountains. THE STATION IN-BETWEEN („Paxmal“) premiered in early summer 2021 and is now starting its festival run.
