Film synopsis:
Brunaupark, Zurich: five residential complexes, 405 apartments. The Credit Suisse Pension Fund plans to construct a new building and has terminated the leases for half of the apartments. While many are leaving the neighborhood, others are holding on. For more than three years, the film observes the uncertainty and chronicles the insidious transformation of this community.
Movie runtime: 91 min.
