The Radicalization of Jeff Boyd

A businessman from Switzerland, Jeff Boyd, dreams of living in Australia where his friend Morton, a crazy bakery shop owner, has already settled down. Morton tries to persuade him to join soon and help in the shop. Frank, who lets Jeff stay at his place while he’s abroad, advises to invest money with a commodity trading firm he knows. When Jeff signs the investment contract, he’s full of hope to leave the country with a pocket full of cash. After a phone call with his trader and a heavy argument with his boss at work, Jeff’s world collapses. That’s when he meets Wendy who's also in a delicate state after losing her job. They discover being soulmates. Their worries about the world and what it develops into comes more and more to light. They want to make a change, and develop a dangerous plan.

Directed by Uwe Schwarzwalder, The Radicalization of Jeff Boyd leans on a strong ensemble — Uwe Schwarzwalder, Yessi Sanchez, Zarina Tadjibaeva — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
