Storyline

The documentary highlights day-to-day life in a boarding school named Zuoz. Here, high in the Swiss mountains, the heirs of rich and influential families are locked up and expected to perform. Director Daniella Marxer spent her youth in such an institution. At Zuoz, individuality is neither tolerated nor of interest. There are very few deviations from the rules; the system has to work perfectly. Rebellion is not tolerated, and if you don't submit, you will immediately be expelled.
