Set in Switzerland in the immediate aftermath of World War Two, Labyrinth Of Peace delves into the murky connections between business, finance and Nazism.
There are three main plot strands that entwine through this six part mini series. The first concerns Johann (Max Hubacher) marrying into the Tobler garment business. He takes over the day to day running of the company from his ailing father in law Alfred Tobler (Urs Bosshardt). His desire to modernise the factory and be a good employer are in conflict with the economic realities of demilitarisation.
The newlywed Klara (Annina Walt) trying to help Jewish orphans makes up the second. She volunteers at a Red Cross facility that houses children rescued from a Nazi death camp. Here she runs into bureaucracy, apathy and antisemitism. Things become complicated by her growing friendship with Herschel (Jan Hrynkiewicz), one of the survivors.
Finally Johann's brother Egon (Dimitri Stapfer) has returned from.

Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Katharina Wyss's Sarah Plays a Werewolf, which is receiving an exclusive global online premiere on Mubi, is showing from July 2 – July 31, 2019 in Mubi's Debuts series.Accompanied by the booming of an orchestra, a child comes of age and falls apart. Katharina Wyss's cogent chamber drama, Sarah Plays a Werewolf, takes place within a space lined with such clashing processes of knowing and unknowing, entangled in disorientations regarding who is who—or more importantly, who appears as who. Immediately within the title itself, Wyss obfuscates the boundaries between the individual and their assumed part(s). Who is Sarah, and who is the werewolf? How would one tell the difference between a teenage girl and the monster she plays—or is she, rather, a monster playing a teenage girl, the latter acting as a disguise? We may divide Sarah Plays a Werewolf into three acts.
