For several decades up until the 1980s, thousands of young Swiss people were thrown into jail without trial, sent to live with foster families, forced into children’s homes, or even sterilized. Their crime? Behavior that was judged by the state to be threatening to order and conformity. This documentary uses witness testimony, personal archives and original documentation to tell the story of the ordeal suffered by these children, and deciphers a political and social system that lead to their experience.
