Is the solution to Switzerland's future to integrate Germany into the confederation? After all, like Michael Ringier, CEO of the Ringier media group, says, blithely ignoring all minorities, we're very close in culture and language. Oskar Freysinger takes out his guitar and sings his answer. Politicians from French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino think expanding will help the country survive. The former German foreign minister thinks the two countries' traditions are too different. The banker Oswald Grübel is worried about Germany's debts, although he'd be prepared to take over its assets.

What was meant to be a celebratory dim sum lunch quickly gives way to an unbearably cringeworthy ten minutes that nobody at the table asked for. Sharp, uncomfortable, and darkly humorous, "Chicken Feet" deconstructs the entitlement and desperate search for validation that simmer beneath the surface of modern social dynamics - making it all a little hard to swallow.
