Top of the week: Oscar nomination for Swiss short film

This film did not "fall by the wayside", even though it failed to win film funding at the time. After winning more than 50 awards to date, including the Swiss Film Award 2008, the Grand Prix at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, Best European Short Film and the Student Oscar, Swiss filmmaker Reto Caffi's short film has now also been nominated for a real Oscar. The story is about a department store detective who spends most of his time in front of the surveillance camera screens, monitoring potential shoplifters as well as an unsuspicious but pretty sales clerk. Thanks to the cameras, he usually makes it onto the same S-Bahn train as her after work - and occasionally gets a smile out of it. Until the day a man accompanies her - and events come thick and fast. A complex epic in mini-format that deals with love and revenge, courage and cowardice as well as guilt and atonement. With a very nuanced Roeland Wiesnekker in the leading role.
