The director spent seven years filming a large construction site in front of his home. Zurich’s historical freight station is being demolished and a prison rises up in its place. During construction, the site is visited by lovers, a wandering fox, and a film crew, and plays host to a food festival and police practice sessions. The camera records the endless hustle and bustle from an impersonal point of view, almost like a nature documentary. Subsequent sound editing turns it into a grotesque slapstick à la Jacques Tati, and excerpts from letters written by imprisoned migrants raise questions about disappearing history and an uncertain future that devours human lives within the industrial complex. The city is frozen in time, offering unexpected stories. A film that keeps you glued to the screen.
