I seek rather only to somewhat, somehow understand belief and why so many are compelled to follow its tenets. I am fascinated and often repulsed at both the moral and immoral acts that are committed in the name of a God whose existence is proven only by the argument that this existence cannot be disproven either.

One of several watering holes that defied the curfew was the Helvti Bar in the basement of the Hotel Helvetia at Stauffacherquai 1 in the district of Werd.
Students, artists, musicians and journalists from the leftist newspaper Tages Anzeiger regularly discussed the countercultural revolution here well in the wee hours of the morning. Pleas for the establishment of youth centres were repeatedly turned down and so instead the counterculture focused itself on two big community squats. The film is in German β worse yet, Swiss German β but I think the images need no translating.
