For this film i had the opportunity to accompany the Rescue Battalion 2 of the Swiss Army over the course of three weeks. During this time, I documented impressions of their daily operations, training sequences, and the collaboration within diverse teams under real conditions.
The film captures the essence of the annual training duty - shaped by responsibility, mutual trust, adaptability, and structured teamwork. It offers a condensed yet authentic retrospective of the service period, providing insight into the mission, processes, and lived reality of the battalion. A project that required precision, sensitivity, and a strong documentary approach to reflect the spirit of the unit in an honest and respectful way.
