As part of the 35th European Film Festival (EUFF) and in conjunction with the Swiss Weeks 2026 the Embassy of Switzerland in Singapore is proud to present the classic Swiss drama Heidi (2015), directed by Alain Gsponer.
Heidi tells the story of an orphaned girl who spends her happiest days in the Swiss mountains with her grandfather, Almöhi. When she is sent to Frankfurt to live with the family of the wealthy Mr. Sesemann and becomes a friend to his wheelchair-bound daughter Klara, Heidi discovers the joys of learning and friendship, while never losing her deep connection to her beloved mountains and Almöhi.
