“We heard about [stories of] Indonesian people working in nail salons in Swiss cities during our research. That’s even the worst situation in some cases, and we were really hoping that this movie could also speak for Indonesian people,” Locher says.

To prevent that, she works extra hard and, lured by the legal document and higher pay promised by a Swiss gangmaster, becomes a labor trafficker herself. The reality turns out to be a pipe dream.

Locher calls the world it exposes “the dirty side of the Swiss postcard.” Alexis Manenti also stars. Close Up Films produced the film, with JBA Production co-producing and Be For Films handling sales.

Locher and Alipio, who co-wrote and co-directed the film, first met at the Busan International Film Festival. When Locher later set out to tell a story about “people who live in the shadow of Switzerland,” he reached out to Alipio, who agreed to collaborate.

Otherwise she would never be in Switzerland.” That ambition tests her loyalty to her Filipino colleagues, who support each other like sisters.
