    • Synopsis
    • Saâd, Thuruban, Andrija and Luka are officers in the Swiss army. Their parents were born in Serbia, Sri Lanka or Tunisia. For economic or political reasons, they left their homeland. Now Swiss, these families have retained a strong attachment to their culture of origin. In a personal documentary, director Luka Popadić explores their presence in the Swiss army with a skilful blend of humour and sincerity. By interweaving scenes from everyday life, personal interviews and archive footage, MY SWISS ARMY challenges long-held prejudices about homeland, integration and diversity. The film offers a fresh look at Swiss identity. It highlights the rich experience of Swiss people with an immigrant background, underlining their contribution to the multicultural part of modern Switzerland. MY SWISS ARMY reminds us that national identity can be plural, complex and profoundly human.
