    7/10

    A good drama, could be more.

    Giving this an 7/10 rating

    Michael Neuenschwander plays the Swiss ambassador,working for, the Swiss and German government. But as he runs back to his family, Plenty of demsoins of the past are dug up and his life is put out there. Even if it at the end of the second world War, trouble is not far way as he returns home and things slowly start to crack open.

    Politics, guilt, run rampant in this tale set after the second world war, in this Swiss setting, as hiding the past proves very difficult when it comes hunting and knocking at your door. The whole tone is set with the black and white cinephotography, and it works. It's not a case of A Forgotten Man, more they want rid of him.
