Farewell Paradise  Netherlands / 2021 / 82 mins

Sonja Wyss ' first feature film is an autobiographical documentary exploring the ambiguity and emotions of a Swiss family.  An intimate documentary that looks to piece back together a family life that has fallen apart, taking as its starting point an old family photo of the director as a little girl - snapped by her father Ueli - who leaves The Bahamas alongside her mother and three sisters. The reason for their departure is the parents’ failing marriage, which scatters the various family members into an abyss of uncertainty.
