What this episode covers
The content of the film focuses on immigration from the point of view of the immigrant. Livio Dainese aims were to make a film for Swiss people to watch and empathize with the characters in the film. He wished to emphasize the frustration felt by the characters during their confrontation with immigration bureaucracy. As he clearly points out through the film, acceptance by Swiss authorities is often still based on biased attitudes towards certain cultures. Livio Dainese turns the immigration office into a surreal farm factory, where a Palestinian girl, Rula Abuuhageb searches for an answer to the fact that she has been born in Switzerland but is still not eligible for Swiss citizenship.
