Overview

FamilyKids

Gottfried and Sophie Kummer live freely and independently with their six boys in a modest cottage in the countryside. Although the cottage has neither electricity nor running water and must be heated with wood, the small wages of a construction worker are not enough to meet all their obligations. Especially since the former owner, Mayor Lüthi, still has a mortgage on the cottage, on which the Kummer family must pay interest. And this interest makes life difficult for the Kummer family. Then a stranger appears who would like to buy the cottage as a vacation home. But for the Kummers, it is their home! Mayor Lüthi, however, senses a big deal, promises the stranger the house, and at the same time gives the Kummer family a final payment deadline for the interest until the end of the month. So it is the six Kummer boys who take up the fight to save their cottage.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This was one of Swiss television's first serialized children's dramas, predating even German equivalents like 'Die rote Zora' by years.

Trivia

Franz Schnyder shot on location in Emmental with local non-actors as villagers; the cottage was genuinely off-grid.
