Synopsis
The 18-year-old mountain farmer's son Lüzza helps his father in the barn and works at the local ski operation. Escaping the alpine monotony, he flees with a borrowed Jeep to Zurich and immerses himself in the night city, where he encounters marginalized and troubled individuals of all kinds, but also awaits romantic interludes with a chanteuse and a rock singer. Jürg Hassler's handheld camera follows the fictional protagonist like in a documentary film and pushes the light-sensitive film emulsion to its limits.
