Cinema: «Frank & Louis» in Ilanz

Frank (Kingsley Ben-Adir), a man in his forties, is serving a life sentence - with the prospect of parole. To endure the brutal reality of prison life, he has emotionally sealed himself off. When he is transferred to a new facility, he decides to join the Gold Coats - a program in which inmates care for fellow inmates suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia - in the hope that this commitment will increase their chances of parole. The work is demanding, but Frank develops an unexpected relationship with one of his patients, Louis Nelson (Rob Morgan), a man who was once feared for his power and authority. Caring for him pushes Frank to his physical and emotional limits.

The new film by the Swiss director of "Heldin", Petra Volpe, celebrated its world premiere at the renowned Sundance Film Festival in Park City, thrilled audiences at this year's Locarno Film Festival and won the Audience Award.
