Most people play it for fun, to them it’s a deadly serious matter. A small group of professional players from all over the country gather in Amriswil to crown the Swiss Minigolf Champion. Among them is the young and extremely ambitious Maja as well as Jörg, one of the most experienced players of the tournament. Far away from everyday life, the players need nerves of steel and a knack for selecting the right balls to deserve a place on the podium.

After a long day at work they meet under thundering highway bridges. Equipped with rods and nymphs, the men hunt in the barren sweet waters of the suburbs for fish. But between concrete pillars and evening traffic, the fishermen's hearts find no peace and so they set off in search of the distant and dreamy murmur of the sea.

Odyssee in A-Moll

Wherever Toni shows up, even a meat counter turns into a regulars’ table. Ever since the musician chucked his guitar, he lingers through life as a well known grumbler. When a parcel is mistakenly delivered to his door, he gets into his car without further ado, trying to find the right addressee. Already at the first crossroads a seemingly endless odyssey begins to unfold.

Die Stadt, die es noch gibt

Nestled behind high mountains and dark forests lies Triberg, the birthplace of the cuckoo clock. For centuries, this cult item has been handcrafted right here, attracting tourists from all over the world. Ever since the boom of the 1980s has faded, the cuckoo clock has gradually lost its appeal and magic. And so has the place, which now resembles a ghost town. Its residents however still believe in their clock: Vendors, clockmakers and tourist guides alike fight to preserve their beloved heritage. Between abandoned restaurants and souvenir shops they hope for new tourists, while the clock continues ticking away.
