Annemarie Fässler searched in archives, Marlis Schuler for years explored the fate of families, and Arno Steiner genealogical origins. Finally, Christian Marty-Mächler told of his relatives who had emigrated to America. Edith Zehnder-Mettler too is aware how significant the lives of our forebears are. Why is someone interested in the lives of ancestors, in genealogical origins, in the history of family emigration?

The film of Claudia Steiner shows the various motivations and wonderful renewed encounters in Canton Schwyz.
