Remy Placet is a humble office employee who has worked for the same insurance company for the past twenty years. When his mother dies, he is given two months’ compassionate leave, during which time he sells his city centre house in Geneva and acquires a much larger property, with ample gardens, in the countryside just outside the city. Pining in solitude, he invites all of his colleagues, including his boss, to his house for a summer garden party. Under the influence of alcohol, liberally poured by a hired manservant named Emile, the guests soon dispense with office formality and begin to reveal their true natures...

DVD2 - Bon vent Claude Goretta (2011)
Claude Goretta made L’invitation in 1973. For filmmaker Lionel Baier, born in 1975, it is like a «travelling companion», to adapt Serge Daney’s expression. He feels it is definitive proof that a Swiss can be deeply Chekhovian. The young filmmaker goes to Geneva to ask his elder how he achieved the whoosh of water effect in the film, why attention to detail matters so much, and how to film great actors such as Francois Simon. This encounter with Claude Goretta, Isabelle Huppert, Nathalie Baye, Michel Robin and Frederique Meininger leads one of the greatest of Swiss filmmakers to open up about his work.
