    • Synopsis
    • “Zurich” tells the story of a bright, independent-minded twenty-year old, Lea, who’s been suffering from cystic fibrosis since birth. She watched her older brother, whom she idolized, fall victim to the same disease and elects not to endure the pain and suffering that snuffed out his short life. She plans with the stealthy assistance of her grandmother, to travel across the border to Zurich, to a private, legal clinic, to end her life. But she finds it an almost unimaginable act unless she is joined by her mother, older sister, and her beloved grandmother. Unflinching, uncompromising, and compassionate, “Zurich” blends gallows humour and bravery with a way past-due introduction to a different kind of pro-life debate.
