Eine bärenstarke Liebe

Alarm in the Swiss mountain village of Valbensa: brown bear Bennie strays into the hiking area. Some sense a tourist attraction, others fear for their goats. Meanwhile, big game hunter Beat is looking forward to some big prey. But he is only allowed to shoot once Paula, an expert brought in from Germany, has classified the bear as dangerous. Beat also sets his sights on Paula...

Directed by Mike Eschmann, Eine bärenstarke Liebe leans on a strong ensemble — Muriel Baumeister, Pasquale Aleardi, Beat Marti — 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 romance titles of 2008.
