The experience of undocumented Filipino women in Europe is captured with urgency and humanity in this third feature by Swiss filmmaker, Dominik Locher. Together with Filipino screenwriter, Honeylyn Joy Alipio, they have crafted and captured the real-world dynamic between luxury Alpine resorts and the low-wage workers drafted in to keep them running. The story centres on Luz, who walks an emotional tightrope between the exploitative and illegal nature of her working life in Switzerland while feeling the pull of her young daughter still in the Philippines, and manipulative partner who is using a reality TV show to publicly shame her. The community of women workers around her offer comfort and complications, as she tries to climb the career ladder in a world filled with false promises and inequalities. This screening is subtitled and Relaxed (RS).
