SONJA’S RETURN

Directed by Tobias Ineichen

90 minutes, CH, 2006

Story
It was an accident, says Sonja Knecht. She spent 6 years in prison for the murder of her husband. Now she’s 28, out again and heading straight to her son. But Tim lives with his parents-in-law, who make him believe that his mother is dead. Armin and Julia Berger therefore send their daughter-in-law away again straight away. However, they didn’t do the maths with Sonja. The young woman installs herself in her home village: she fights for her child and against the past. Cast Melanie Winiger as Sonja Marlon Altenburger as Tim Urs Hefti as Armin Suly Röthlisberger as Julia Renate Steiger as Elvira Andreas Matti as Brändli Michael Finger as Stefan Oliver Zgorelec as Dejan and many more.
