Marianne Brunner, a 39-year old housewife, lives with her husband Paul and their daughter Yvonne in a middle-class suburb of Switzerland. Everyday routines govern their lives – until the day Marianne wins 2.9 million Swiss Francs in the lottery. Initially, the family try to keep their luck a secret from friends and neighbours, but as the temptation to spend the cash becomes too big, news of their luck spreads and throws the family into a vortex of envy and malice. The Brunners' quiet life is thrown off course, never to be the same again.

November Audience Reviews

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
chrickli 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!
