The rugged, mysterious Swiss mountain valley of Bergell has produced an extraordinary dynasty of artists: the Giacomettis. From the father Giovanni, considered an Impressionist of the first hour, to the children Alberto, Diego, Ottilia and Bruno, they were all endowed with remarkable artistic talent. First and foremost was the world-renowned sculptor, painter and engraver Alberto, who revolutionized the art world with his thin sculptures. Annetta, the strict mother and resting pole in the circle of her loved ones, held the family together on the inside.
The Engadine director Susanna Fanzun follows the traces of the Giacometti family. Masterful paintings - paired with sketches, personal letters, contemporary witnesses and breathtaking shots of the alpine landscape - allow us to look inside this impressive family.
