In early fall 2019, Geneva faces an unprecedented security crisis: the imminent attack by an anti-capitalist terrorist group known as the Global Liberation Front (GLF). The Swiss army is immediately called upon to assist the police force in containing the threat to Calvin’s city as quickly as possible.

Such is the extraordinary log line of LUX, the huge army simulation exercise that took place in Geneva from 1st to 10th October 2019. Ten days where 1,500 soldiers took part in a life-size game, between city and countryside, to tackle a fictitious threat.

While exploring the ambiguous relationship between reality and fiction, LUX offers a poetic desire to draw the viewers away from preconceived ideas in the heart of one of the most unique armies in the world and one of the most controversial institutions in Switzerland.
