The Boat Is Full (German: Das Boot ist voll) is a 1981 German-language Swiss film co-written and directed by Markus Imhoof.
[1] It was also entered into the 31st Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Bear for an outstanding single achievement.
[2] The title of the film derives from what was expressed by the Swiss during World War II, for as a nonbelligerent country many refugees desired entry there, with most being denied permission.
The six attempt to meet these criteria by exchanging clothes, roles, and papers, with some cooperation from villagers.
Yet, the village policeman sees through their deception, feeling betrayed, and initiates the official procedure.
