Synopsis
Labyrinth of Peace (Frieden, 2020) is a Swiss historical drama you can watch online on iFILM — directed by Michael Schaerer and set in May 1945, as the continent sorts through what the end of the war actually left behind.
Three young people are each trying to find their footing. Clara is tracing camp survivors and working to reconnect them with their families, operating without infrastructure or money. Johann has inherited his father's textile business and is pushing it toward a new era before debt finishes it off. Their brother Egon came back from the front unable to fit back into civilian life, and has joined the public prosecutor's office — his job is to track those who fled the fallen regime across the border into neutral Switzerland.
Schaerer uses Switzerland's strange position — a country untouched by the war that became the transit point for everyone with somewhere to run — to build a story about history's weight on ordinary people. Stream Labyrinth of Peace online on iFILM.
