Birthplace of Alpine winter tourism and numerous winter sports, and the most fashionable meeting place in the Alps: St. Moritz. Over a hundred years ago, the hype surrounding the small mountain village in the middle of a magnificent mountain backdrop began with wealthy English people spending the winter here and changing the town forever. Grand hotels were built, and the village of 5000 souls quickly became a hotspot for the rich and famous. Since then, the motto in St. Moritz has been: there is nothing that does not exist here.

Adolf Haeberli has not been tidying up since his mother’s death. He likes order but it is more important to concentrate on what really matters, though: Every day he writes countless letters on his clattering typewriter among mountains of newsprint.

A portrait about one man's right to self-will in his own town, his own house – and his very own head. A 45 min portrait.
