action
Stefan Balsiger works at the Swiss Embassy in Havana . He's got a boring job, and he's responsible for visa and AHV matters. When his boss, Ambassador Ernst O. Müller, has to travel to Bern for the annual ambassadorial meeting, Balsiger pretends to be an ambassador to the Swiss journalist Bea Graber. And now, of all times, an extraordinary visit from US Senator Jesse F. Russell is announced.
A serious incident develops out of a small misstep by the senator, which - with the help of the media, police officers and diplomats from archenemies USA and Cuba - exacerbates the second Cuban crisis, which in the end only one can solve: Stefan Balsiger himself. As a young diplomat he had dreamed of one day entering the world politics stage. But when the unfortunate chain of events in Cuba takes him there, he only wants one thing: to get out of the spotlight as quickly as possible.
Reviews
“The amusing comedy confidently maintains the balance between satirical tips and playful situation comedy. Time and again she succeeds in poking fun at Swiss national consciousness with crooked clichés. "
