A self-reflecting collage made up of the director’s thoughts and moods while relocating to an alien, poetic Zurich. Lucky Girl Syndrome can be confusing, which rarely happens in cinema anymore. Al Souliman’s film is a diaristic correspondence that she creates form Zürich for those back home, filming herself in postcard-like landscapes, narrated by a distant yet sensitive voiceover — or rather a sensitively cold one, for she doesn’t let the images consume their self-evident imagery, that implicit ‘I am well’ suggested by every postcard. She’s not well in Switzerland but wishes she were: happier, wealthier, more Swiss, more self-confident. There is no ‘but’ in al Souliman’s short (which would have been an exercise in montage), but only ‘at the same time’ (which is an exercise in composition) — everything is beautiful and at the same time not so much.
