A Journey
( Heidis Land - Eine Reise )
Susanne Quester
2012 - 48 min - 16 mm - Couleur - Allemagne
The story of the orphan child Heidi who lives with her grumpy old grandfather high up in the idyllic Swiss Alps had been a world wide success ever since its first publication in 1880. Many generations grew up with the characters of “Alpo?hi” and the “Goatpeter” and were touched by Heidi's sad yet beautiful childhood.
The author Susanne Quester asks adults to tell us the story of Heidi from their memory. As they do we hear different versions telling us as much about the story itself as about the different recollections of their childhood. Quester takes us along on a nostalgic journey through the Alps in search for something that only exists in our minds and our memory: Heidi's land.
