Für die kleine Heidi ist das Leben auf der Alm alles andere als öde. Sie verbringt sonnige Tage mit ihrem Freund, dem Geißenpeter, sie tobt über die Blumenwiesen oder kümmert sich um die kleine Geiß Schneehöppli. Abends sitzt Heidi am liebsten mit dem Großvater am Ofen und kriecht dann in ihr duftendes Heubett. Hier oben in den Bergen ist Heidi glücklich und frei! Deshalb trifft es sie wie ein Donnerschlag, als man sie in die große Stadt schicken will, als Gesellschafterin für die kranke Klara. Aber Heidi lässt sich von den vornehmen Stadtleuten nicht unterkriegen: Wenn da nur nicht dieses furchbare Heimweh nach der Alm wäre

Mary Shelley’s haunting adventure about ambition and modernity run amok.
