Plots(1)

The story of a man who sets out to stop smoking, leading him to decide to walk fromhis current home in Zurich to his childhood home in St Gallen, where he first took up smoking. He is prepared to start the journey over – taking a different route each time – as often as necessary until he finally reaches his goal of becoming a non-smoker! The film is a settling of scores and a declaration of love. A road movie for pedestrians, a local film for those without roots. A tribute to all the smokers and addicts, to all the poor devils who managed (despite everything) to hold their heads high. (Festival International du Film de La Rochelle)
