Joahanna Spyri’s classic children’s novels return to the screen for a new generation. When Aunt Dete (Schinz) sends young orphan Heidi (Steffen) to live with her gruff and solitary grandfather (Ganz) in the Swiss Alps, the two get off to a rough start. However, Heidi soon melts her grandfather’s heart and the two form a close bond. As Heidi grows to love her new Alpine home and her friend Peter (Agrippi) the goatherder, Aunt Dete returns to take Heidi away to Frankfurt to live as a companion to the wealthy, wheelchair-bound young girl, Klara (Ottmann). Though homesick and out-of-place, Heidi makes the best of her situation, soon inspiring those around her. Screenwriter Petra Volpe and Director Alain Gsponer offer a fresh take on Spyri’s spirited heroine, emphasizing the stark realities of Heidi’s situation. Gorgeous shots of the Swiss Alps are contrasted with authentic depictions of era, where despite such bleak circumstances, Heidi’s resilience and ingenuity shine ever brighter. This is a timeless story of knowing who you are and remaining true to yourself, no matter where you might be.
