劇介
1995年春天，蘇黎世的露天吸毒公園關閉後，11歲的Mia和吸食海洛因成癮的母親Sandrine搬到鄉下。Mia一邊照顧母親，一邊與想像中的朋友以及當地邊緣青少年共度時光。友誼最終使她有力量反抗並脫離虐待她的母親。
2020年1月在瑞士轟動上映，《浮生蘇黎世》是近兩年最成功的瑞士電影。本片由C-Films製作，近年C-Films是其他票房大片的幕後推手，包括《ZWINGLI》、《牧羊小英雄》和《THE FOSTER BOY》。《浮生蘇黎世》改編自蜜雪兒哈菲爾和法蘭西絲卡穆勒的暢銷書，故事以11歲女孩Mia為中心，當年蘇黎世露天吸毒公園還存在的時候，有許多孩童被海洛因成癮的父母和資源不足的當局遺忘了。本片與傳統描述毒品的劇情片不同，導演皮耶莫納德從無辜孩子的角度來講述這個故事，而非從吸毒者的角度。如此手法創造了一部非常強烈感人的劇情片，不帶聳動，但以原創手法淡化了令人不舒服的場景。

Synopsis
Spring 1995 - after the closure of the Needle Park and the public drug scene in Zurich, eleven-year-old Mia and her heroin addicted mother Sandrine are relocated to the countryside. While caring for her mother, Mia spends time with her imaginary friend and a gang of local teenage misfits. These friendships finally give her the strength to rebel and break free from her abusive mother.
After a sensational opening in Switzerland in January 2020, NEEDLE PARK BABY became the most successful Swiss film of the past two years; it was produced by C-Films who is behind other box-office hits such as ZWINGLI, LITTLE MOUNTAIN BOY and THE FOSTER BOY. Inspired by the bestseller PLATZSPITZBABY by Michelle Halbheer and Franziska K. Müller, the story centres on an eleven-year-old girl, Mia, who stands for all the children forgotten as a consequence of Zurich's needle park. They were forgotten both by their heroin-addicted parents as well as by the overstretched authorities. Unlike in conventional drug dramas, the director Pierre Monnard tells the story from the perspective of an innocent child rather than from that of a drug addict. This creates a very strong and touching drama without any vestige of sensationalism, yet with original ideas of how to make unpalatable scenes somehow bearable.

Others:
• Platzspitzbaby tells an almost unbelievable story based on an autobiography. Written by the real-life daughter, Michelle Halbheer, along with journalist Franziska K. Müller, it caused quite a stir when it was first published in 2013.
That's because for the first time, someone had written about the experience of growing up in the open drug scene. Located in the heart of Zürich in the nineties, there used to be a large needle park where authorities allowed the sale and consumption of illegal drugs.
