Farmer Heiri has sold his calf and celebrates his temporary wealth in the big city. But in so doing he is confronted with many temptations and dangers: pickpockets, second-rate artists and prostitutes who all try to grab the money of this naive man from Hausen. But as soon as all the banknotes have been transformed into alcohol, none of these alleged friends want anything more to do with him... This is a 1978 recording of the well-known Zürich boulevard theatre piece.
In this Swiss film noir a private investigator stumbles onto a case involving blackmail and an oversexed, under-aged girl. He finds the girl, and, tragically, becomes involved with her.
Gilberte Montavon was a legend in her own lifetime. As a young woman, she was confidante to hundreds of thousands of Swiss-German speaking soldiers during the First World War, and remembered most of their names. She was still a teenager when the war began, and was immortalised by a song written during the war years by the Swiss-German bard and lute player, Hans Inn der Gand.
