SWISS COAST is a portrait of two small-scale coastal fishermen from the Wadden Sea; Jan and Barbara. They supply us with food from nature by hand. A way of fishing that dates from prehistoric times. The film makes a connection between the Swiss Alps and the Wadden Sea: nutrients in the water from the mountains, are forming a healthy breeding ground for the oysters, mussels and fish that the fishermen couple catches in the Wadden Sea and then sells in Zurich.

Nature is not separate from us, we are part of it. Everything we do has a direct effect on nature.
