With its massive immigrant population, Switzerland has consistently held a social identity that is far from cohesive. The film asks two questions. Firstly, how does the country’s continually evolving social structure assimilate with the prevailing national identity. Secondly, how do immigrants to Switzerland articulate their search for identity in the midst of uncertainty and the need for individual identity and ultimately citizenship. Zvicra, translates as Switzerland in Albanian, and highlights the complexity of lost and rediscovered identities in Switzerland, a country that is destined to adapt to ever-increasing population demands. The film tackles these questions through seven Albanian characters whose community plays a central role in the film.

Time of My Life is a movie documentary project born and initiate in spring 2011 in West Switzerland. Ski, skateboard and snowboard movies are usually made to impress and show only one aspect of these sports: impressive tricks and bluebird skies. Skiing and snowboarding are much more than that. With this film project project, we want to explore the back stages of the show and wish to give a more complete and authentic vision of the riders experience. The movie guideline is to catch and film what is behind skiing, snowboard and skating, what is behind these passions.
