Large Christian crosses stand at the summits of Swiss mountains, billboards displaying Bible verses occupy public spaces in cities. The filmmakers have never been comfortable with the presence of these religious symbols. In 2009, mountain guide Patrick Bussard sawed down a cross in the Fribourg Alps – and was severely punished by the courts for doing so.
