Ciao Ciao Bourbine (Suisse)
From now on, the “NO BILINGUE” initiative only requires one national language! The result: a crazy referendum that puts our country in a chaotic state of emergency. Especially when it actually says nationally: Switzerland is becoming monolingual – French! Many citizens are therefore experiencing a crisis. This also applies to Walter Egli (played by Beat Schlatter), who works for the federal police, doesn’t speak a bit of French and has to ensure that the transition to monolingualism takes place properly. Together with his French partner, he is supposed to uncover a resistance group that is burgeoning in the south of Switzerland and is using all means to resist the implementation of the initiative.
