Brunaupark - Abschlussfilm dokuentarfilmwoche hamburg

Orange elevators take the residents of the five building complexes of Brunaupark in Zurich up to their apartments, but also take them out of the building again. The latter would be in the interests of the Credit Suisse pension fund, as it has terminated the majority of the existing tenancies. The intact complex is to make way for a more urban new-build concept. The profit-oriented logic behind this is not difficult to understand, but the remaining tenants are unwilling to accept it. The film observes the ongoing transformation processes of the living space and playfully accompanies the residents in their painful memories, their everyday life as neighbors, in the stressful uncertainty and their fighting spirit to stand up together for their own interests.
