XXI MittelCinemaFest: LUBO

Lubo is a street musician drafted into the Swiss army in 1939 to defend the country's borders against the threat of German invasion. Soon afterward, he learns that his wife was killed trying to prevent the gendarmes from taking their three young children, who were taken from the family under the National Re-education Programme for Street Children (Hilfswerk für die Kinder der Landstrasse) because they belonged to the Yenis, the Swiss traveling community. Lubo knows that he will have no peace until he finds his children and brings justice to himself and all those like him living on the margins of society.
