In 2018, the pension fund of a bank then called Crédit Suisse decided to redevelop the Brunaupark site, a Zurich real estate complex comprising five rental buildings, for a total of 405 apartments. More than half of the tenants saw their lease terminated in December, some for June 2020, others for June 2023. In 2019, during the demonstration on 1is May, Felix Hergert and Dominik Zietlow met a woman asking them to sign a petition in support of the hundreds of people affected.
The first is a director, the second a photographer, both graduates from the ZHdK (Zurich University of the Arts). Intrigued by this neighborhood destined to be transformed for purely economic reasons, far from any social or environmental considerations, they begin by walking there, meeting people and collecting their testimonies. Struck by the geography of the place, they quickly saw cinematic potential.
