ABOUT THE FILM
Presented as part of the Germanic-American Institute’s Spotlight on Switzerland.

With sensitivity and honesty, Bagger Drama portrays the protagonists of a working-class family learning to rebuild after loss.

ABOUT THE TWIN CITIES GERMAN FILM FESTIVAL
This year’s Twin Cities German Film Festival invites audiences to explore stories of belonging, identity, and reinvention. This year’s films revolve around characters in motion: across borders, through grief, toward connection, and into self-discovery. The festival, produced by the Germanic-American Institute in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut, celebrates the courage to rebuild, the humor to adapt, and the shifting borders that define modern life.
