NEMESIS

Switzerland 2020 – Director: Thomas Imbach – Original language: English, German – Subtitles: English

Destroying, stripping, smashing, demolishing: in the staccato rhythm of the heavy machinery, the film reconstructs the dismantling of a Zurich freight railway station to make way for a prison and police station. A swan song to our lack of connection to history and the illusion of total security.
