People are voting emotionally.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

November is about the coldness of a society ruled by so called adults. A middle- aged, quite average Swiss couple is divided even further than perceivable at first glance when the mother breaks out of her patriarchal cage after she wins millions in the lottery jackpot. A frailty that comes quite unexpected seems to destroy the jealous husband after he realizes that he is not the one that will decide on the family's future anymore. Soaked in by their own marital problems, they neglect the wishes of their 12-year old daughter. Although towards the end there are some hints to how the family could grow back together again, the film follows the most tragic turn possible (that we are already presented with in the beginning). Luki Frieden achieves in creating a desolate, but authentic Swiss setting that sometimes, by means of light and camera work, turns into a fairy tale story. We follow the characters' wishes and dreams with a feeling close to flying, even if the presentiment of some tragic twist is lurking around every corner.Apart from the sometimes too oppressing mood of the film, Frieden introduces a Swiss film that could actually attract viewers outside of Switzerland. Especially the dialogues have a fresh touch, not resembling the stumbling and constructed dialogues of most other Swiss films. Congrats!
