Spring 1995 - after the closure of the Needle Park and the public drug scene in Zurich, 11-year-old Mia and her heroin addicted mother Sandrine are relocated to the countryside. Based on true events, the film tells the story of children whose parents were part of the largest open drug scene in Europe during the 90s.
The soundtrack was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra at AIR studios, where other major productions such as Mission Impossible, Harry Potter or Interstellar have been tracked.

Munz chocolate's beautiful new tv campaign for their new "Together is better" initiative, supported by Pro Familia Switzerland.
We approached this score not as an advert, but as a short film instead, focusing on creating an further dimension of emotional story-telling through music, centering the thematic material around a catchy piano melody with an underlying cello motif that is developed throughout the film.
