Myself, Improved
Moi-même en mieux
In development
Sweating and working hard, gym members battle with themselves. Whether young or retired, alone or with a coach, for one month or fifteen years, they engage in the leading sport of the 21st century. Paths scattered with pitfalls, hopes, and doubts intersect, but they also diverge. The life of this club, where intimacy and self-image, physical and psychological resilience collide, reflects the obsessions of a society driven by beauty and well-being, where the loss of youth frightens many, myself included.

Born in 1977 in Geneva, Switzerland, Robin Harsch studied filmmaking at the Cantonal School of Fine Arts of Lausanne (ECAL) and obtained his bachelor’s degree in 2004. He directed several short films, including SOPHIE CALLE, APRÈS TEXTE and FEDERER AND I, in which he also acts as himself, blurring the lines between documentary and fiction. In 2008, he plays the lead of Lionel Baier’s “Another Man”. He then works several years for the Swiss television as a documentary filmmaker. His first feature fiction film, BICEPS, was released in 2018. In 2019, he directed UNDER THE SKIN, produced by Alva Film.
