Set to premiere next year, the film '111' is a joint Canadian-Swiss production that follows the interwoven stories of four people in the aftermath of the Sept. 2, 1998 Swissair crash near Peggy's Cove, N.S.

Kris Holden-Ried, clad in a dark pea coat and bright red scarf, stands in a patch of sunlight on the edge of Griffin’s Pond in the Halifax Public Gardens, with the early morning light casting a glow on him as he looks across the water.

In addition to Saul, the drama follows two Swiss characters: one who loses her mother and a Swiss airline worker who travels to Halifax after the crash as part of a care team. The film also follows some of the Nova Scotia fishermen who were the first ones on the water to search for survivors. The location wasn't the only thing that tied the cast and crew directly to the tragedy. Björn Hering, a Swiss producer on the film, is the son-in-law of one of the pilots on Swissair Flight 111’s last voyage.As a form of reprieve from heavy scenes in the film, the script incorporates what the crew called "magic moments," or short points in the film designed to offer the audience some breathing room.
