EDMUND IN KNEZEVAC

Edmund Schönenberger is a Swiss lawyer who fought for the freedom of thought and human rights in Switzerland. He represented clients during the "Opernhaus-riots" in Zurich as well as the members of the R.A.F. (the Baader-Meinhof group). He is a co-founder of the biggest law firm in Switzerland which works pro bono. Through his work he analyses the Western society and decides to move to Kne¾evac, the most rural part of Serbia in order to start a new life there. In a very charming way he tells us his life story and expresses his views about democracy, the state and its system and we see how he tries to apply his Western-world experiences in the village. The clash of mentalities leads to philosophical and very funny situations and shows us a new perspective of the state, globalization and life itself.
