Havarie

Jens Lienhart is an ambitious business student at St.Gallen University, researching his thesis at Refine Trading, an international oil trading company. Then Beatrice, a Greenpeace environmental activist confronts Jens with some crucial facts which are only confirmed by his own research: Refine Trading charters cheap tankers only fit for the scrap heap, some of which have caused huge oil spill accidents. As he's discovering the firms long list of cover-ups things become dangerous ...and personal. Will Jens submit to Greenpeaces pressure to go public? This is a delicate issue as Jens' father is not only on the company board, but also about to be elected for parliament.

Directed by Xavier Koller, Havarie leans on a strong ensemble — Ralph Gassmann, Johanna Bantzer, Hans Schenker — 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 action titles of 2006.
