Synopse
DOCUMENTARY Thomas Haemmerli is Swiss and the son of a lawyer has had a chequered career: the army, squatter, student of law and philosophy, yuppie, ad man, TV correspondent and expat in South America. He has lived in a posh town house in Zürich, squats, flatshares, chic lofts, Paris attic apartments, Latin American Airbnb rooms and high-rise estates. Along the way, Haemmerli has developed a highly entertaining autobiographical film essay on the use of space, living situations, architecture, town planning and gentrification in the world's big cities.
