SLIFF Dramas • Animation, Drama

On September 2, 1806, Mount Rossberg collapsed after days of relentless rain, unleashing a landslide that buried the village of Goldau and claimed 457 lives - the deadliest natural disaster in Swiss history.

Drawing on historical records and scientific research, this film recreates the catastrophe in real time, immersing viewers in the harrowing moments as nature reshapes an entire valley and forever alters the lives of its people. A powerful reminder of nature’s untamed force and the fragility of both environment and human life.
