In a desperate attempt to leave the past behind, Nina is wandering along Europe’s motorways. She meets a German lorry driver and joins him on his journeys. Slowly it becomes clear that her drive to hang around in the truckers’ scene is a result of the pain caused by the ultimate betrayal.

Plunging into the raw journey of a woman reeling from tragedy, this frank depiction of female sexuality earned comparisons with Steve McQueen’s Shame. A sombre yet compelling road movie, Zurich conveys its character’s inner conflicts through a fragmented structure and striking visuals.
