In the early fall of 2019, Geneva faces an unprecedented security crisis: the imminent attack by an anti-capitalist terrorist group known as the Global Liberation Front (GLF). The Swiss army is immediately called upon to assist the police force in containing the threat to Calvin's city as quickly as possible - among others, with LUX: a simulation exercise, a life-size game, between city and countryside, to tackle a fictitious threat. While exploring the ambiguous relationship between reality and fiction, the film offers a poetic desire to draw the viewers away from preconceived ideas, in the heart of one of the most controversial institutions in Europe.
