Driften

Robert, a former driver in illegal races, returns to his hometown Dietikon after a long period of absence. He is determined to put his past behind him and starts an apprenticeship in a repair shop. When he meets teacher Alice, his life starts to unravel. (Swiss Films)

The thrill of speed ends with the death of a child. Mother and driver meet. Guilt and atonement, loss and love, closeness and distance – in its subtle play Driften touches the audience’s sense and sensibility.
