Nemesis

From the perspective of the filmmaker's window, which has witnessed the agonizing destruction of a unique train station in Zurich and its replacement with a new prison and police centre, comes a poignant exploration of how we deal with the extinction of history and its replacement with total security. The film probes this theme through testimony from prisoners awaiting deportation, capturing the heartbreaking stories of those trapped in a limbo of innocence before trial. Shot on 35mm film, Nemesis presents a hauntingly intimate portrait of urban decay and the cost of progress.
