The black-and-white shots of pristine, snow-covered mountains, graced with the sound of bells from the pastures provide the setting for the accounts of asylum-seekers in Switzerland. Their voices, heard speaking English, emerge from the depths of darkened images, they describe the humiliations they have suffered. A film in the form of a flyer, with archive images of boxers training and words appearing on the screen: it’s all about writing one’s own story!
