Infra-Ordinary Palm Trees is a virtual reality project about the outsourcing of old age. It is a displaced “Heimatroman” or homeland novel about a village that looks like every other Swiss village. On the one hand, the film shows everyday life in a nursing home for European seniors in Thailand, on the other hand it shares the inhabitants’ memo-ries of their home in Europe. The project combines documentary scenes with staged sequences to allow temporal layers to coex-ist side by side.
