"...a rollicking socio-political farce that roasts just about everybody in a position of power." -- Variety
A wickedly uproarious butchering of Switzerland’s illusory sacred cows from esteemed director Daniel Schmid.
Russian call girl Irina wants nothing more in life than to acquire her Swiss passport. She steeps herself in all things mythically Swiss and uses her significant wiles and charms to ingratiate herself to the rich and powerful who can help her achieve her dream. But the aristocracy and government officials prove to be nothing more than pimps and whores themselves and when they double-cross Irina, hell hath no fury and the walls of power come a-tumblin' down.
