Shot on 8mm film in 1976, this vintage home movie captures a panoramic view of a Zurich neighborhood from a grassy hilltop. The camera slowly pans across traditional Swiss houses with dark roofs and white facades, framed by evergreen trees. In the distance, a dense urban sprawl stretches under a hazy, overcast sky, with film grain and soft focus adding to the nostalgic, archival quality. The footage offers a quiet, observational glimpse of suburban life in Switzerland during the mid-1970s.
