Happy Birthday
On his 16th birthday, Röbi Keller crashes his father's car. He tells the police how it happened.
Markus Imhoof's film is an exemplary portrayal of how, in 1967, the young people abandon the ‘golden mean’ sung about by their parents' generation, which leads them into the machinery of the capitalist bourgeoisie. The leading role is played by his later cameraman Lukas Strebel.
