- Storm chasers are people who have a passion for finding and documenting wild weather conditions, thunderstorms, high winds, or tornados. These men and women often put themselves at great risk when they want to experience these powerful natural forces at close range. In Switzerland there is also a small group of storm chasers that, during the summer, is underway almost daily throughout the country and even beyond, looking for summer storms, heavy hailstorms, and tornados. They document and film their experiences.
- A letter, a broken heart. The sound of the rain. A black cat, a plan.
- Switzerland is a treasure trove of gripping ghost stories. Some of the most fascinating and uncanny occurrences are examined in this film based on eyewitness accounts at the scene, with the journalist Hans Peter Roth. Two people capable of seeing the deceased and hearing voices from the dead give their accounts: the medium Andreas Meile and the clairvoyant Sam Hess tell of their special gift.
- A documentary about Swiss movie prop collector Roman Güttinger and his passion. Who is the person behind the name? Shows an insight in his collection which is Europe's biggest private movie prop collection.
- 19-year-old Alessandra is a wrestling student. As a newbie, her goal is to develop a so-called "gimmick" for herself. A ring character of her own, which should become very similar to her due to her biographical cornerstones. This film documents this development process, which at the same time also represents an inner journey of self-discovery for Alessandra. But on her way to becoming a full-fledged wrestler her life changes in an unexpected way, which forces her to grow up faster than expected.
- A young man has not yet processed a fatal accident which occurred in the Alps and is forced to confront his tragic past.
- Again waiting, again a power failure, and again the African artisans have not worked accurately - the filmmaker is tearing out his hair because he cannot understand why the development aid work feels like an idle cycle. His friend, the Australian Brian Polkinghorne, has been working in development aid for 35 years. He considers his work as being a "planter of ideas" - he who tries to plant ideas in the minds of the Africans. Ideas on how they can help themselves: for example, the construction of a water tank or the construction of a pump made of wood and bicycle tubes. Brian defends the often incomprehensible actions of the locals to the filming visitor from Europe. The 76 year-old retiree emphasises the weaknesses of rich industrialised countries and condemns them all the more insistently.
- We all leave something behind when we go. Whether it's a memory or an item, the important thing is what we do with it.
- Alone and left behind - with the same melody. Where space and time seem to have no meaning. No end, no beginning.
