US premiere!

Looking back on his life, Hans has to admit that it was a good one. He saw the world, his marriage with his wife Martha was wonderful, and perhaps two or three things went wrong, but nothing of consequence. Now that Martha has been dead two years, Hans can barely manage his daily routine anymore. After a visit to the vet, his beloved dog Miller doesn’t return home. Hans is tired. He can’t be bothered anymore. He wants to die. But one simply doesn’t talk about wanting to die. At best Hans might be able to confide in his friend Willi, whom he trusts and considers his ally. But who should help him implement his plan?

Exit Oerlikon is a moving film; Mathias Gnädinger’s second-to-last starring role, and Jörg Schneider's last movie. View the trailer here.
