Geysir und Goliath

Documentary on the Italians who have migrated to work in Switzerland.

This short film on the waters of Switzerland does not show conventional landscapes. Without literary commentary, only by means of image, rhythm and music, it tries, on the contrary, to make the life of an element, water.

This is an intimate portrait, made a year before his death, of writer Ludwig Hohl. Born in 1904, Hohl was admired by his peers Max Frisch and Friedrich Dürrenmatt (and later, Adolf Muschg and Peter Handke), but has long been neglected.
